That's correct. The labelpnt is really the computed point based on the type of a geometry we're processing. For a point it's, well, just the point. For a polygon it's based on a number of successively complex computations to make sure the point is in the polygon- starting with the center of the features bbox and ending with a center of gravity computation. Lines use the middle of the longest segment.

I changed it to: "labelpnt generates the point relative to which the label will be placed." Better?
