Both nodes and areas carrying the same data in OSM are perfectly valid just as a unified approach is perfectly valid if the object is drawn as an area. The point is that anything in OSM is allowable and there will be no rule enforcement so spending hours debating possible rule ideas is all a waste of effort. Now that doesn't mean to say we shouldn't put ideas up on good practice, that's perfectly valid. But don't expect everyone to adhere to it. What we do know is that the renderers will get smatter with time and the dataset will become richer. Whether we like it or not, many objects may have a degree of duplication whatever guidance is given.
