Hi Nelson, Probably because it has been cleaned up through Denmark by a single person? I haven't been part in it, but in my humble opinion it is a better tagging scheme, simpler and more inline with osm's taxonomy than highway=rest_area. Highway=rest_area is a weakly described tag, it makes no sense and should imho be deprecated.
I would suggest that you follow option 1 and try to define a better tagging scheme for rest areas before trying to consolidate the data. I would suggest you lean up against the tagging scheme for parking areas suggesting that rest areas could be tagged as: amenity=rest_area for the area, highway=service, service=* for the highways inside the area.
