“how can a protected_AREA be anything but an area?” Right. Please don’t add area=yes to these features.
This tag is only needed for features that can be either a linear feature OR an area, for example barrier=hedge. (Mapping large protected areas mapped as closed ways to relations of type=boundary (or type=multipolygon) is also an effective way of specifying that they are areas, though again I would not recommend retagging existing features.)
