(Thanks @SomeoneElse for the link! ☺) > > Looking at this changeset I think that solution for some of the element is to simply delete it. place=continent nodes make no sense at all this tag has major problem due to fact that there are multiple competing ways how Earth may be divided into continents. Given low number of continents, fact that collecting this data on ones own is easy and that depending on OSM data is not useful (moving, deleting or changing name of place=continent node would have massive impact on a map)and that it is desirable to tweak label placement for specific maps it is dubious whatever this data is useful. Why https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/36966065 is here and not 200 kilometers to the west? like role=label it is pointless exercise in label placement, tuned for rare (unique?) map using this for label placement.
