hay. What was wrong with the previous tagging? Those are actual plazas/squares, so highway=* plus area=yes seems like proper tagging to me.

for now (from http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:area)
> Note: There is currently no clear agreement on how highway tag values other than pedestrian should be treated when also tagged with area=yes.> Note: Most pedestrian routing algorithms do not currently route correctly across area features, tending to route around the edge.
Based on the above, I prefer tagging area as an "area: highway" to avoid these situations.
More information about this is on the page - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/area:highway -

I'm still not sure this is a good idea here. The wiki page you linked talks only about using this tagging in addition to one-dimensional streets, not squares and explicitly excludes/special-cases pedestrian areas from the tagging: “Pedestrian areas (for example squares and piazzas) should be formed using a closed-way around the perimeter and be tagged with highway=pedestrian and also area=yes.”
