How about modifying the existing tag to aeroway=holding_position:runway &
aeroway=holding_position:intermediate (or similar arrangement); or
alternatively aeroway:holding_position=runway / intermediate / anything
else?

Second, it's defined as a node rather than a way, but to be useful, the

& do just that - change the wording to only map it as a way, not a node. It
would appear, though, that they're currently not rendered (at least on the
main map - is there an aero map, similar to Open Sea Map?), & I would think
it fairly unlikely that they ever will be, so the distinction seem a bit
moot?

Thanks
