A single node doesn't really tell much of a story, while a boundary give a better scope of the neighborhood. It might be more compelling for 3rd parties to use our information if we included the boundaries. They in turn give us greater visibility. And while the boundaries may not be exact, people can always change them!
+1, you could still calculate the center point. IMHO places at the edge of a neighborhood might also belong to both of them, and overlapping areas would reflect this. Even if a boundary is not perfect it still is much better than a node who really leaves too much room open to speculation about its actual extension.
Cheers,
