Re: [mkgmap-dev] Commit: r1867: Translate leisure=track into a line (footway) unless area=yes.
Multi polygon relations make the area tag redundant. WanMil, could we automatically add area=yes to all multipolygon relation members? Or perhaps mkgmap:area=yes? All polygons created by the multipolygon algorithm are tagged with mkgmap:stylefilter=polygon, which means that such tagged ways are only used with the polygon style. The source ways of the multipolygon are tagged with mkgmap:stylefilter=polyline, so that they are only handled by the line style. This allows to visualize boundaries although the boundary multipolygon is not fully contained in the tile. From my point of view, the area tag is relevant for tags that could either be used as line or as polygon. If you create a square tagged with highway=pedestrian the place inbetween could either belong to the pedestrian area (area=yes) or could be not accessible (area=no or not set). But I admit that the area tag was used in multiple variants and I am not a very up2date in OSM tagging guidelines.

Could you expand on what you mean by footway?
I mean the same as highway=footway, or
{add access = no; add foot = yes} [0x16 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 23]
My reasoning was that sports tracks may or may not be closed from the
general public. When not in use, they could be used as shortcuts by
pedestrians, but not necessarily for other means of transportation.
I've recently tagged a running track (leisure=track) as closed way
relations (inner outer) to form an area but don't use the area=yes
tag. Would that display correctly?
The wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dtrack says
that leisure=track is to be used on nodes and ways. This hints that you
should add area=yes when you mean an area.
When it comes to sport=cycling, I guess that we could add bicycle=yes,
but are there really so many cycling tracks in the OSM data? Wouldn't it
be simpler to add the bicycle=yes to the source data, to those tracks
that are available for the general public outside sports events?

This hints that you should add area=yes when you mean an area. The wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features also allows this tag for areas. It is a known problem, that the OSM data does not differentiate between lines and areas. And I don't think we should rely always on an area=yes tag to solve this mess.
