<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If the position of the
front wheel is clearly identified on the ground, I'm in favor
for a node. But in reality there is often more than one
position, since depending on the Aircraft model the position of
the front wheel can differ. Would be great to clarify in the
wiki if the recommendation is one node per position/model (then
suggest a tag to specify the model? This is often painted on the
ground next to the position), or only put the last one which can
be reached, or... Or use an area.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If no discrete position
can be identified (or having more than one node is not desired,
see above), I think an area would be more accurate than a way.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Also, I would tag the
path leading to the parking position with something else than
taxiway since they are not taxiways per say (like we
differentiate parking aisles from regular service roads). See
also <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_apron">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_apron</a> . Taxilane
seems to be a valid word for that, and already in use by some in
OSM, so I'm all in for it.</font></p>

<br>
<br>
Typically on an airport the planes parking position is marked by a
small circle, the is usually tagged with aeroway=parking_position
-

I believe this should only be a node, not a way.
<br>
<br>
Some have mapped the planes path leading to the parking position
as an aeroway=parking_position, I think it would be better to tag
it with aeroway=taxiway or (low usage so may not render) taxilane.
