mapcss area selector matches open lines

Hi,

It seems that the mapcss area type selector matches open lines on JOSM.

Use this simple piece of mapcss :

area[test="ok"]{
        fill-color:"#31A500";
        text-color:"#00DE00";
}

and draw an open line with test=ok and the space between its nodes is filled.

That doesn't sound right against the definition given here : ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapCSS/0.2#Types

Am I wrong ?

It have to be said that adding :closed at the end of the selector solve the "open line" problem described in this ticket's description.
It wasn't so intuitive even if I should have read the manual.

I'm looking for areas which aren't closed. Does this really exists ?
If not, may the :closed be implicit and removed from JOSM implementation ?

way[blablabla=blablabl]:closed and area[blablabla=blablabl] are easily understandable and sounds equivalent.
