How can the size and shape of an area be represented by a single node?

Recently, somebody suggested adding a rotation_angle tag to place nodes as a 
hint to the map renderer on how to render labels, but was told that this 
information should be inferred from the geometry. Now we are being told that we 
should not map the geometry from which this information could be inferred? Ok, 
that was about countries, which have (mostly…) well-defined borders, but there 
are many objects that are named, but whose borders are, at best, fuzzy.
