+1, I'd normally use a multipolygon relation to represent the roof if it
has the same extent as the pedestrian area below (to avoid overlapping
ways).

+1, on the pedestrian area below. See this as an attribute (this space is
covered). You could have the roof anyway as an additional object (e.g. to
add details about the roof) or have the covered-key on the pedestrian area
to indicate some kind of covering (i.e. the roof could be mapped either
explicitly or implicitly).
