Hi,

If I were you I'd write a simple script to parse a planet file and  
dump the tags of every way where the last node equals the first.  
Straighforward to write, doesn't even require memory (node id  
equality is sufficient, node position not required), just a few hours  
of cpu time. That will give you a very good idea of how people tag  
areas; of yourse you'll have some circular roads, roundabouts etc. as  
well but it should be obvious to the human being which are meant so  
be areas.

Bye
Frederik
