Yes, in general an area-with-centroid would be a useful type of object.  It
could apply to forests, seas, even some countries.  I suppose it would be
tagged as a relation with two members (a way for the area and a node for the
centroid) and then tagging would be on the relation.  Similar to what happens
now for multipolygons.
