As I read it, Wikipedia:rest_area encompasses both highway=services and 
highway=rest_area.  The highway=rest_area page was created by an 
Australian, and I suspect it reflects the situation in (Eastern) 
Australia*.  It links to "Wikipedia:rest area#Australia. There are 
similar non-service rest areas in other countries of course - lots in 
the US, and there's at least one in the UK.

I'd say the wikipedia links are about right as thet are
