When I was working on the POI collector roadmap it was always the intention to interpret "point of interest areas" as well as "point of interest nodes". I'm not sure if any such areas are being dealt with yet - the idea was to synthesize a POI in the middle of the area to let you change the tags, but not change the geometry. We'd need an update from one of the CloudMade team. Feel free to keep converting nodes into areas when you feel it's appropriate.
