No, no, no. Tags describe what the object is, not how you'd like it rendered. That is up to the renderers.

But one developer in the chat had said, that the blue labels are bugs of the renderer and he'll fix it so i only should post this ticket as reminder.

I think the best fix for this will be to only render names for highway=* area=yes if it's different from any connected way, I believe it should be possible to implement this in osmarender.

Possibly requiring osmarender:renderName=yes should be required for names for areas as a forced fallback?

(In [9574]) Fairly big osmarender change doing some refactoring on the rule parsing and falling back to simple BBOX center for areas with more than 150 nodes. Adds size-dependent rendering of names for large natural features (fixes #716) and suppresses labels for highway areas with same name as connected features (fixes #642).

Reintroducing some areaCenter changes I thought didn't have anything to do with this patch but it turns out the minSize stuff broke areaCenter because it used node-set on an RTF, which meant the nodes came from another document or something, which in turn meant key() no longer worked on the whole osm document

Fixed wrong placement of minSize rule in z12, and did some work on styling all the minSize captions
