Cool, and BTW, when creating the map legend (for end user maps), we can write anything we want so that the intended audience will understand. That the icon in the picture means this .... In any language /varriation. The OSM tags are all international standards (or as close as we can get)
And so, 'center' could also get rendered on mapnik with the same icon. ... But centre wins.
