Be more selective, I think. Even if there are some postboxes mapped as
areas (e.g., in Germany...) I wouldn't want it cluttering up the area
selection dialog.

Talking of which, I think it would be great at some point to resolve
the "recognising existing data" from "suggesting to add the feature"
dual roles of map_features. For example, I see nothing inherently
wrong with recognising capital cities when you click on one - but I
don't want them on the dnd panel since the need for adding more is
vanishingly uncommon.
