Sorry, I don't follow. There should be a place=town node that is part of
the boundary=town way? How could the centre of the town be on its boundary?

But anyway, I'm specifically asking about boundary=town ways, and
place=town ways. Should a town have both a place=town way and a
boundary=town way? If so, what's the distinction?
Here in France we tag our town with 2 things :

a node (place=town or village, depending on population size)

a relation (type=boundary + boundary=administrative + admin_level=8)
The relation has members :
outer/inner composed with ways that define the boundary (a closed way
defining an area)

Hi

Why would you have 'inners' for a town boundary? I would have thought that everything within that boundary would be considered part of that town.
