If you noted the link I included in my mail, I haven't used it.
I think landuse=road is semantically more correct than highway=* + area=yes
(but this could be debatable too), but the drawback is that renderers have the
burden of colouring landuse=road the same way of its way. If both are in a
relation, it could probably be done, but I believe it'd take some effort.
I personally think highway + area is more straightforward.
My 2c,
David
