It's in OSM as http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.089546&lon=-82.506839&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF It's "unverifiable" in the same way any unofficial highway on private land is "unverifiable" (and as much as what constitutes a "parking area" is unverifiable). I don't think it poses much of a problem in practice. I think the analogy with highway=pedestrian is a good one. Maybe highway=service, service=parking, area=yes.
