[Tagging] airport taqs

[LeTopographeFou]

Hello,

If the position of the front wheel is clearly identified on the ground, 
I'm in favor for a node. But in reality there is often more than one 
position, since depending on the Aircraft model the position of the 
front wheel can differ. Would be great to clarify in the wiki if the 
recommendation is one node per position/model (then suggest a tag to 
specify the model? This is often painted on the ground next to the 
position), or only put the last one which can be reached, or... Or use 
an area.

If no discrete position can be identified (or having more than one node 
is not desired, see above), I think an area would be more accurate than 
a way.

Also, I would tag the path leading to the parking position with 
something else than taxiway since they are not taxiways per say (like we 
differentiate parking aisles from regular service roads). See also 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_apron . Taxilane seems to be a 
valid word for that, and already in use by some in OSM, so I'm all in 
for it.

Cheers,
