Then I still don't understand the problem. A closed way tagged with highway=* will by default route. A closed way with area:highway=* will not. You'll have to introduce logic in the router to do so.

The problem is consistency.  If the renderers and routers don't
understand your tagging then it is less visible.

As highway=footway etc. tags are set to "should not be used on
areas" on Wiki, and mapping them in combination with area=yes is
not documented at all and considered as wrong tagging by part of
users, there is a key "area:highway=*" (133k uses at the moment).
Part of users still map footway areas as a combination anyway,
propably because it's rendered by default style. Due to our rules,
that we shouldn't have 2 active tagging schemes for the same
feature, so we should discuss this topic.

I vote for area:highway=* key, because it's simpler, and it gives
a possibility to show also street areas with crossings in the
future.
