I have a bunch of squares at

http://informationfreeway.org/?lat=42.45702553449015&lon=13.92662883414077

which are large open areas which cars can drive or park on, or people
walk on, and which are not currently rendered right. I thought I
remembered that the original proposal was to allow closed ways with
highway=whatever and area=yes to allow different types of
squares/plazas/piazze/pracas etc. (so highway=residential, area=yes
would give me the type of square I want) But looking back at the wiki I
can't find that anymore..

So now should I be doing highway=pedestrian, area=yes, motorcar=yes, to
get my squares?
