Please, please use relations for it and don't delete data entered by
people. Maybe there is a reason why the node is exactly on that position.

I think using relations is the right way to solve this problem. And of 
course all cases where something can be expressed by a node and an area 
at the same time: if there is a display_hint node (or howerver it will 
be called in the relation) a renderer can use it directly, else it can 
decide itself where to put the icon.
