No.  It's been said repeatedly not to change the map to deal with software that can't handle things.
If osmAnd and friends can't show me "nearby shops" when they are areas, then the right thing to do is
fix osmand!

Of course, I'm guilty of doing this for all the bars/clubs, mostly because they points were there long
before the areas were, and if you delete a point and replace it with an area, you lose any foreign key
mapping that an external application may have had :)

The other reason I've done this is because there wasn't any good way (when I started) of placing multiple
types on the same area, for things like hotels and the hotel bar and the hotel restaraunt.

Finally, really?! You're going to maintain _every_ shop in town as a PoI? It's difficult enough staying
on top of the bars!
