Comment from SomeoneElse
Using "highway=track" with "area=yes" is going to confuse data consumers (it did confuse me).
Here http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/378210101 is just a duplicate of http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/378216579 , which is a linear feature and not really an area at all.
In some cases it might make sense to tag a the wider area around highway as an area, and in such cases I'd use area:highway like http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/361984588 so that there's no confusion between routable highways and the "areas" around them.
In addition to "wider area around a mostly linear feature" there are also pedestrian plazas for which area=yes really does make sense (routers can make do by routing around the edges).
Here however, unless it's vastly changed since I was last there (and the imagery suggests that it hasn't) an area of any sort here is not appropriate. It's just a linear track.
