I would assume a) manually or b) As per the prior discussion on
generating the Mapnik duplicate points & eliminating clashes, by algorithm.

Manually would give better data, but I have a lot of parking marked up
by me - and it seems I'm not alone :) - so perhaps (b) should be done as
a one-off, after a consensus has been gained?

A bit of manual clean-up after a mass conversion would be OK, and as
it's a relation it's not adding new nodes where there's only an area,
nor vice-versa, and it lets any interested renderers do it properly. It
wouldn't do anything nasty with the underlying data that I can see.

I see I'm not the only one to suggest it...
