As we map different physical landcovers by eg. landuse=grass,
landuse=forest, natural=sand, natural=water etc. There is theoretically
no tag for urban areas covered by little stones like on this photo:
An use case for allow mapping barrier=block as asreas is a better
visualisation of a landcoverage. Mapping aeral objects as a nodes makes
the map a little bit lied.

Currently, barrier=block is not allowed to be mapped as an area. As
blocks can be big enough to map them as areas, I think it should be
allowed, the same as in barrier=wall or barrier=hedge. Anyway, currently
we have 3,9k of barrier=block areas in database.
So basing on your opinions, it looks like highway=* + area=yes isn't
incorrect, it's just not documented. What do you guys think about adding
a better documentation of combination with area=yes to some of highway=*
Wiki pages?

As highway=footway etc. tags are set to "should not be used on areas" on
Wiki, and mapping them in combination with area=yes is not documented at
all and considered as wrong tagging by part of users, there is a key
"area:highway=*" (133k uses at the moment). Part of users still map
footway
Thank you all for response.
Basing on most voices, the output is to left building=grandstand for
tribunes with roof or walls and leisure=bleachers for open-air ones.
I'll add proper information and examples on a OSM Wiki pages of both
tags.

Currently, we (de facto) have 2 tags for the same feature, which is not
a proper state.

I think we should choose the correct one andadd warning moving mappers
to the proper
