Wait, I don't think I agree with this. That is, to me, the question of
whether a 'thingie' in OSM is an area thingie or a line thingie should
_not_ be up to the visualization layer.

It's a two-step thing. Of course you should be able to map the building and say "this is an area". But the renderer might *still* choose not to render it as an area (think e.g. of certain kinds of airspace which are areas but you will usually only render the outline).

PS: Not that we want to map airspace. I just found it a fitting example given where you're hailing from.
