+1, and we also have names (for forests, woods, etc.) that don't coincide 
perfectly with where trees grow, where forestry is the landuse etc. (i.e. those 
are toponyms that should have their own geometry, at least it should be 
possible on a semantic level to have them as distinct objects where necessary), 
also nested.
