[Tagging] Runway area mapping?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

I've seen a number of runways mapped only as areas.

This seems like a bad idea, since it loses the information of the
runway centerline and length. Adding a width tag to a linear way
should be enough to clearly define most runways.

The current wiki page suggests using "aeroway:area=runway" to map the
outline of the runway, and mapping the "aeroway=runway" as a line
along the center of the runway.

Does everyone agree that aeroway:area is the right way to map runway
areas, if this is considered necessary?

And do we agree that runways should be mapped as linear ways, like
highways and railways, not only as an area?
