Similar to riverbank, sometimes the shape (and it’s irregular outline, where it
meets taxiways and aprons) is good to have for rendering at higher zoom levels
where lines no longer show the proper land usage and areas more accurately
reflect reality. anything that takes up the space of a village or a town should
be mappable with a polygon in some fashion.
As most airport facilities are already mapped via area (the apron, the overall
airport grounds, the terminals, the grassy areas, parking, etc), so having
*the* major feature that takes up a ton of space and is also easily mappable
from imagery also mappable as an area seems like a common thing to map as an
area.
keeping the information on the way (like the ref and other details) and using
this :area tag modifier to map the extent of the surface seems great to me.
