of course all of these could be tagged as place=locality nodes, but this is a compromise to drop a name, which does not allow to even guess about the extent, shape or orientation.
My idea is to collectively curate a parallel dataset which can be used in addition. Just draw the thing roughly (thinking mainly about regional size features, not the very detailed OpenStreetMap editing map scale), e.g. here geojson.io and send it to me for inclusion ;-) https://github.com/dieterdreist/OpenGeographyRegions ideally you would also search the fitting wikidata object (the hope is to internationalize names through wikidata items).
