& indeed, who wants to?

My 2p - I would separate them, the unglue tool in JOSM is good for this,
and have them as distinct entities.
I do it my way - My car parks look OK to me on the map, I like the data
as it is, and the only reason I have seen to date in this thread to do
it differently is Frederik's point about later edits needing both items
to be moved. Fair, but not the end of the world...

One of my reasons is that if I were to come in & change it from one
model to another, there is potential for data loss in reducing the node
count, whereas an increase in nodes does not lose any data, but (if done
accurately) improves it. I tend to regard loss of data in OSM as a bad
thing, unless the world has really changed.
