[OSM-newbies] Proper village boundaries

[Donald Campbell II]

I'm wondering what's the right way to do a boundary of a village or small
town.  Ideally the map will show the name and everything inside will know
the right place to be "is_in".  Now if you notice at the link here (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.3608&lon=-57.5838&zoom=14&layers=M)
there's 2 villages side by side, one marked with a POI that shows up
labeled, the other which is defined by a boundary.  I think that sort of
boundary is a bit academic and doesn't really need to show on the default
map, perhaps I've chosen the wrong kind, also that sort of boundary doesn't
leave a label HOWEVER searching for any of those street names properly shows
they are in Bath.

So is Bath done right?  Should those boundaries show up visibly or is there
another way to do it that makes more sense?  Do you just have to do it both
ways to get a label to show up? Use a relation instead?

Thanks,
-DC
