I agree this is a good plan.

But it's not tagging for the renderer.   It's saying that the proper
location of a POI is in a given place, and that's a true statement about
the world and generally useful.  So I don't think there's any reason not
to do this.

It probably merits discussion more broadly; the concept is not about
mkgmap.
