Not sure your demo is proving anything. Zooming in on the area covered
by the demo on the live map I'm not seeing very much of the corruptions
introduced by switching building names from brown to purple and adding
the 'centroid' dt which then pushes everything off to one side :( PLEASE
get ONE thing fixed first and fully deployed before changing something
else.

Building colour is fine here
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.09209/-1.94670. I don't
unfortunately have an example of the section which had much tidier brown
text on all the buildings, but I think I HAVE established that a zoom
level should use the icon OMLY when the name is not displayed, and if
there is no icon don't just display a dot :(
