Well it may be worth talking to Steve Chilton about things - he 
generally looks after the cartography for the mapnik layer.

Putting symbols on areas is pretty clearly good though I think as we use 
the symbols for the same features when entered a a point feature.

The biggest issue will likely be duplication where people have put 
things in twice, but hopefully they will remove the points if we put 
symbols on the areas.
