I just encountered people claiming in discussion that =yes value is incorrect if it is mapped 
as a separate object

For now I added to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter note that shelter=yes means
"There is a shelter, it may or may not be mapped separately as a nearby element with amenity=shelter."

I have not made change that would either discourage shelter=separate or encourage
retagging shelter=yes to shelter=separate if separately mapped shelter exists
