[talk-au] FYI I removed a whole bunch on nodes where ways existed for the same object.

Actually that's probably one of the few things I haven't done :)

That is one way to do it, but it's not the recommended way, since if
points are needed for whatever reason, they can be generated based on
the mid-point of the area. I'm trying to find the wiki page with
recommended tips on it.

The only other suggestion I've seen to do this sort of thing is using
a multipolygon relation and using a node to tweak things, since the
location you are trying to tag may be offset from the mid-point.
