I think the analogy was more about things like landuse=commercial to make the renderer render a yellow area for sand, or landuse=forest to make a parkland render green. > I'm not in favour of splitting aerodrome into aerodrome and airport if > it doesn't scale to further divisions.

Well, wikipedia defines an airport as a place aircraft take off and land and may be stored or maintained, while aerodrome is a location where flight operations can take place. Consider a seaplane landing area, this could be designated as an aerodrome area, without being an airport. A remote airstrip may be considered an aerodrome, without having any sort of status as an airport. Some remote roadhouses in central Australia for example, have an aerodrome out-the-back for light aircraft that are hopping across the country or flying doctors or even local resident operations.
