So that's an effect. If I were writing a renderer (actually, I am), I would assume that a closed way does not represent an area unless it a) has an always-area tag such as landuse or b) is tagged with area=yes. Your idea that some tags should make a closed way into an area by default, unless there's also a certain other tag (like area=no) present, is not established mapping style as far as I can tell. Currently, tags are either unambiguous, or the default assumption is "not an area".
