IMHO there should be a P-Icon in every Parking-Area! Because this areas 
are also potencial targets for OSM-user.
To differ public from private P-areas visually, maybe we can add a 
little key-symbol to the right-bottom corner of the parking-symbol.

permissive parking-areas (supermarket, hotels, etc.) should also get a 
normal P-symbol, if parking is allowed for everyone, otherwise -> 
"privateParking"-symbol
