We have an own datatype planned for shapes, probably something based on the GeoJSON. The alternative would be just to point out to the respective entities in OSM, but OSM has a policy against stuff like "historical country borders" or "geographic range of the long-eared hedgehog", so it is a good idea to allow that too.
But this will happen a bit later. For now we would only support points. 2013/1/3 Raylton P.
