I'm late to this party, so am catching up...
I understand why Hospitals that provide immediate care need to be mapped exclusively, but why should only emergency response fire stations be mapped as such? What's the use case for members of the public? They don't need to navigate to their nearest fire station when their house is on fire...
I notice that when a point place is converted to an area, it is exactly 40x40m. This could be a useful guide for 'size dependent' criteria. Another useful rule of thumb (for places and segments) is it has to be visible at 500ft zoom level (=5).
We have ignored the Great Table for our local United_Kingdom/Places version, preferring instead to give generic guidelines to our editors and let them use their discretion. Simply: large buildings can be area places, individual businesses as points, with a few exceptions.
