True but there will likely be some great mind who, just to get a nice
"AFRICA" label on zoom level 2, will create a multipolygon encompassing
every single piece of coastline around the continent and call that
multipolygon "Africa". Every time some poor soul splits up the coastline
somewhere in Africa they will wonder why the upload takes five minutes,
and soon the Africa multipolygon will be at version 12345...

Seeing that this is the inevitable alternative, maybe the
place=continent node is the lesser evil.

Bye
