But we have to explain why : area=yes is only useful when the main tag can
apply for a polygon (area) or a closed loop (ring). It has been created for
the tag highway which can be a place  (e.g. highway=unclassified + area=yes)
or a closed ring (highway=unclassified). But it's not required for most of
the tags where the mix-up is not possible.
