I agree that a rough polygon seems better than a node because it allows to 
estimate the size (a new relation datatype would even be better, like a 
collection of (existing/already mapped) things inside (role) and outside (role) 
that would serve the same purpose but make it clear that it is only an estimate 
/ that there aren't clear borders anyway).

I don't like boundary=informal though. It should be something more verbose 
regarding what kind of region this is (natural/geographic, (low) mountain 
range, area of lakes, forest, desert, plains, cultural, ethnographic, wine, 
etc.)

cheers,
Martin
