I do think access=destination should only be used where people have a right
of access.  But furthermore, "you're allowed to be here if" isn't the same
as "there aren't any signs saying you're not allowed to be here if".

If there were a sign which said "anyone may use this parking lot if this is
their destination", maybe access=destination is appropriate.  But I've never
seen such a sign.
