It probably doesn't render at all currently, but if it's used more
(I've used it for large expanses of roadway at toll booths where
highway=motorway area=yes is inappropriate because traffic flow is
controlled) it can be added to the rendering rules. landuse=railway is
a similar tag (used mostly for railyards) that renders just like
landuse=industrial on Mapnik.
