So it would seem the place node itself is redundant then. It should just be used as a label.
Perhaps I'll have to download and install Nominatim to see how it handles things too.
Ultimately for display purposes it's one thing, but I'd like these relations/boundaries to be useful and unambiguous when it comes to determining where a particular location is.
