Not yet perhaps. > It is also very questionable whether all renderers will always > provide a > meaningful positioning of automatically created icons, e.g. a simple > approach will place the icon for an L-shaped area outside of the area. If a simple approach won't give the desired result we should implement a better approach. This has to be done only once for the renderer(s) and not for all the items in the database. "We do not tag for the renderers." applies here. > I think that a manually placed POI is always preferrable over an > automatically created one and the wiki is oversimplifying things here. Actually this rule allows you to have manually placed POIs. But then you should not have the area labelled. And I think that is reasonable. Because otherwise a lot of items get duplicated in the database without any reliable way to determine whether they are duplicates or not. Therefore, I think the current algorithm for the add-pois-to-areas is sufficient, because it will correct most instances of those duplicate tags, which are errors in the database and should be corrected in the database anyway.
