A model which uses lines for what in reality are areas,

Few thing would be true lines i.e. zero width. Things like
boundaries would be true lines (country/state/administrative). Most
cliff lines will have some 'widt' as they won't be perfectly
vertical. Roads and train line have a definite width, and that width
can be represented by the lanes= or track gauge entries. It is not
unusual to have a sinle drawing line represent something eles in
reality e.g. single line electrical drawing have a single line
represent a number of wires, this easies the drawing and makes the
resulting 'map' easier to read. I see little advantage to making
highways areas for the work input involved myself. <br>

Upto the mapper on the spot. But remen]ber that the data input may
not get to the output - the render may not use it. <br>
