It would seem a bit much to map the ford as an area unless both the river and the highway away from the ford are mapped as areas. For the same reason I wouldn't usually map a ford as a way unless the river is mapped as an area.
Apropos of not much, I wonder whether the ford is relevant for water-based routing along the river. Perhaps to canoes and hovercraft... In any case the point where the highway intersects the thalweg should be tagged with something to indicate that it is not in error. That is, where a highway and a river cross there should either be a node tagged as a ford, or either the river or the highway should be tagged as bridge or tunnel (and there should be no node at the intersection). With regard to the automated edit, I'd like to know: - does this fix or solve anything (ie for data consumers), or is it just to make data consistent? - what are you doing to nodes that have both highway=ford and ford=*? - what are you going to do to prevent more highway=ford nodes being created in future?
