well even if the issues were nonexistent, mapping the area of a bay seems to me like mapping an artificially introduced concept for which there is very little real world use or recognition otherwise. Also bays with very flat or deep geometry will result in disproportionately small areas so mappers may feel compelled to do some ugly workarounds if the name of the bay isn't shown as expected. So I would say * if there is some other reason valid to map the bay as area, do it * something better needs to be invented for hinting the renderer.
