+1, it is easier, because it is not true that width and length aren’t contained
in the area, they are just harder to get f

Similar to riverbank, sometimes the shape (and it’s irregular outline, where it
meets taxiways and aprons) is good to have for rendering at higher zoom levels
where lines no longer show the prop
I agree that “14/32” is a ref, not a name. Its similar to “I-80” for a
motorway.
(In the Openstreetmap-Carto style we render the runway ref, not the name,
but only when it is mapped as a linear way)

I've seen a number of runways mapped only as areas.
This seems like a bad idea, since it loses the information of the
runway centerline and length. Adding a width tag to a linear way
should be enough to clearly define most runways.
The current wiki page suggests using "aeroway:area=runway" to map
