It appears I've started another long discussion that will resist any
attempts to produce a clear answer. I think it's fair to assume that
because this is OSM each mapper can decide for him or herself how to map
bays and straits. That is, as long as someone with greater power than any
of us decodes

Please look at the examples in Indonesia. They are not sculptures or
artwork. And they are erected by the very local government at the
neighborhood level. The large sculptural signs in San Diego are rather
artistic, but they are put up by the government or with government approval
at least,

In Turkmenistan I have tagged such signs (though they are official, and
for villages/towns) as tourism=information, information=board or
information=name depending on how much info it contains. If there is a
better tag, I am all ears.

For all the
Here in Indonesia it is very common for neighbors to build sign over
the main entrance to their neighborhood, with the name of the
neighborhood on top and some other info on the two columns supporting
the sign.
In this example there are two different gateway signs, on the small
street to the left

a large portion of the geometry and as a result the derived way_area are
completely non-verifiable. Also here a properly placed node would
together with the coastline transport all the verifiable information
about the geographic reality there is.

Frankly, while I share
@Christoph,
Thanks for the feedback and the references to the previous discussions
about this topic. The first reference to an earlier discussion on this list
was particularly useful. From your email and that thread, I gather that you
are opposed to mapping bays and straits as multipolygons. That
The rendering software would then derive the necessary quality information
from I don't know. Bay recognition software?
