validator wrong warning for bus stations

[dieterdreist]

The validator returns the missleading warning "area is unnecessary for amenity", in this case a big bus station tagged as amenity=bus_station and public_transport=station

I believe it is harmful to discourage mappers to use areas for objects that do have a notable dimension / extension (because size is quite important as well as topology (e.g. what is inside what)). Please remove this warning. IMHO a notable extension begins at 1 square metre.

I believe, you misunderstood the message. It is about the tag area=yes on the polygon and not about using the wrong object type.

Not sure if you should mention tag as we do not add it for all warnings (e.g. amenity).
