probably that's a mapping error? If there's a polygon the node could go. Or
it could be added to a relation, where the node would be inserted as
rendering-location-suggestion? This still might be different for different
views and zooms.

well, I myself consider rendering all polygon-names a feature (nice to see
which features are maybe missing in the stylesheet), but for a "clean map
for the consumer" I'd agree with you (though I don't consider Mapnik-OSM as
such).
