I came up with a more elaborate area-detection algorithm for  
overpass-turbo [1], which respects our official documentation (the wiki)  
much better than osm2pgsql does.

It is mostly based on the information found in the wiki and my own  
understanding and interpretation of OSM. It is surely (still) quite  
incomplete. Thus, I would be glad to hear about possible improvements for  
this algorithm!
