Street as area

Dear Friends,

the proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area
is already over 15.000 times used in the map. See: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=area%3Ahighway

The russian OSM Community has already special map which shows streets as areas in highest zoom level:

With regards,
Marek

Coud one of you tell me, how often this map:

is updated?

Best regards,
