I tend to think of label nodes as hints for the renderer that provide it with information it cannot derive on its own. The canonical example, I think, is a town where it makes sense to place the label over the "town center", which residents of the place can usually identify easily, but which may not necessarily match the geometric center (or centroid) of the town's border. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
