[mkgmap-dev] Final call for merging the mergeroads branch

Question about the Finalize section:

Actions in the finalize section modify only the element for the current executed element type
definition. The 
continue
or
continue with_actions
statements continue to work with the
element but without any action of the finalize section applied.

What about continue for some lines that needs to be processed in the polygon style, like highway=* & area=yes (pedestrian, service etc). Are the finalize actions not applied? 

Please note that in the default style pedestrian areas are not routable:

highway=pedestrian & area!=yes [0x16 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 22]

Is this intended? Shouldn't we remove area!=yes from this rule?
Better would be this:
highway=pedestrian [0x16 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 22 continue] 

But then it conflicts with "statements continue to work with the
element but without any action of the finalize section applied"?
