Hi I am contributing to OSM since years but I still have not found proper way to define a name of an area. With area I mean an unsetteled unsettled (or setteled) settled) area which is not an administrative object, nor city nor village. It is just an area in the landscape which local people gave a name. There is lot of such places in Switzerland, like Alp da Munt in Val Mustair. Sometimes I was using place=locality with the name, but this should be used only for single nodes and not for areas. This is important from the rendering point of view. A possibility would be to set area=yes to place=locality, but this is not a recommended solution. Any ideas are very welcome. Milos
