Summary: geotag lines, areas

When geotagging small things, like buildings, a single co-ordinate suits fine.
However, how do you accurately and representatively geotag things which are
quite large? Like railway lines, or motorways, or lakes or countries? The
usual approach is to find somewhere approximately in the middle and tag it
there. I don't think this is appropriate in all cases.
I think it is still important to define a central or most important point.
Therefore I propose another solution; namely to have multiple nodal points that
are geotagged. For linear objects, there would be a series which could be
joined up to form a line. For an area, the nodal points would define the edges
of that area.
