With polygons, you also convey information about size, shape and orientation, while with nodes/points, you only give information about the position. As adding a shape for every small business is a lot of work, and it doesn't change much in practical terms because they are all more of less of the "expected" size for a small business, many such objects are mapped only as nodes. The bigger the thing gets, the more interesting it becomes to add it as a polygon, usually. Generally, polygons are superior to nodes and should not be "converted" to nodes, while converting nodes to polygons seems vantageous. Cheers Martin
