Placing of the hamlet (or other place) names is always fuzzy. Where it is

other objects - cluttering the map.
That looks like mapping for the renderer.

imho, the node should be
placed near the location where you want to be guided to when you
specify the hamlet without street name in a navigation system. i.e.
not only you, but "most" people.

Hamlets are usually so small almost any place will be close enough to the
'centre', certainly within viewing/walking distance.
For Australia .. most people think of the 'centre' as the post office, in
Europe it would be the train station.
Hamlets don't have post offices nor train stations... if a place did I'd be
looking at calling it a village.
Are place nodes put on top of these features... or a little off? I'd think they
are a little off these 'centre' features.
