+1, besides from the already named tags in this thread there is also
leisure=track which is a nice example. Even it's wiki page says
explicitly that it is not clear, whether this is an area or a linear
feature, but there are asumptions that mapnik renders this as an area
because the rest of the leisure tags are all areas (or nodes):
