Scanning the wiki it looks like usually-not-area would be less of a
moving target.  Otherwise almost every time someone adds a new amenity
you have to add a new always-area tag.  The usually-not-area would be
junction=roundabout, barrier=*, highway=pedestrian, leisure=track,
man_made=breakwater, man_made=groyne, man_made=pier, natural=cliff,
and waterway=dam.

There are also issues with multiple tags. For example tourism=attraction is usually an area, but on a railway=preserved that goes in a loop it's probably not. I don't think Mapnik handles an explicit area=no correctly here.
