Right. So I just moved to proposal to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/reference_point
The comments from Erik Johansson I posted on the previous proposal wiki
page in order to not forget them in the future. As Lukáš explained I
agree and as a first step i give priority to have "just" the reference
points being markable as such.

Here are a some examples from real life:

Example with a usual reference point:
Nicaragua Guest House
Bello Horizonte
VI Etapa 217
Rotonda de la Virgen 2 cuadras al sur 2 1/2 abajo/west
Managua, Nicaragua

Example with a reference point, which usually would not be on a map:
Ferretería Blandón Moreno
Barrio Santa Ana.
Del Arbolito 1 1/2 cuadra al norte (al lago)
Managua, Nicaragua

Example with reference point from the past:
Colegio Filimon Ribera
Reparto Schick
De donde fue el Cine Ideal una cuadra arriba
Managua, Nicaragua
(Where Cine Ideal today is a Pizzeria)
