Maybe we should try a completely different approach. We could draw

A renderer that wants to display the name should draw it along that
way with the length of the way giving a hint about the size of the
feature.

This is already done for ridges, with natural=ridge. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dridge
It is used a bit. Not sure if any renderers show it.

I think something similar could be used for valleys.

It won't really work for mountain ranges, as they are often not linear.
