you could do this with wikipedia links. My usecase would be to enter an
address in a search field and get information about the neighbourhoods the
results are located in. Given the huge differences in shape and extension
of place areas I'd rather prefer an unprecise and to some extend subjective
polygon than a node that doesn't convey the necessary information to get an
idea where it is valid for (especially in a setting like osm, where you
always have missing information bits).

Cheers,
Martin
