Great idea! The role=label nodes would allow "taggging for the 
renderers" in those cases when the default POI would be in an awkward 
position, such as outside the polygon.

If we generated POIs for boundary=administrative polygons, the default 
POI location should be the role=admin_center node. But, I guess such 
nodes would already carry place=* and name=*. How are country labels 
generated, or are they generated at all?
