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).
Right...I think the original poster and myself are advocating that a spatial notion of area be in the data model, but we are definitely NOT arguing to take visualization decision making away from a renderer.
PS: Not that we want to map airspace. I just found it a fitting example given where you're hailing from.
Yeah, who the heck would be interested in airspace? :-) Probably the same argument goes for administrative boundaries.
