There is a need for a better way of labeling geographical features such
as seas, peninsulas, mountain ranges etc. The current options of either
associating a name=* tag directly with the natural=* tag or using
place=locality with a name tag do not address the problems of selecting
proper zoom levels to render a name, neither provide any clues to the
renderer which font size etc to use.
The proposal introduces new place=land and place=water values. Further,
a new key "place_level" may be used to classify the size of the feature.
Please see the proposal page for the details
