[OSM-newbies] Nodes v. Ways when adding amenities

[Tac Tacelosky]

I'm about to add a few shops in a shopping center.  Is it better to add
them as ways so that the renderer has some idea about the footprint and
relative size?  Or as nodes, which seems to be the more common approach?

The tiny nail salon is right next to a large supermarket, and the gas
station on the corner is in between those two as far as size, while I can't
do an exact outline, I can draw a box to indicate relative sizes.

Are both approaches correct, or is one way better?
