It would be relatively straightforward to adjust the Mapnik code so that
the automatic 'P' would depend on the access= key. We'd need to decide
on the policy though:

- access=public => 'P'
- access=private => No 'P'

- access=permissive => ?
- access=[anything else]  => ?
- no access= key => ?

The Mapnik code ensures the centre of the 'P' is always within the area
even if it is an unusual shape.

Ideally we could also suppress the P if there was a manually placed node
within the area but that is a little more complex to implement.
