It is usable only for maps generated for area similar to the one pictured, therefore it should be added at stage of processing data, not to the OSM database. It suffers from the same problem as "lets place a single node."

You could also use an area and construct a word shape as illustrated in 
this featured image:

Here's the map as a whole:

I can't tell how well it would work (and whether the current tagging of 
those mountain range areas is the best choice) but the resulting map 
looks nice.
