I'm willing to argue both cases. Having a role=label relation may be useful where it may be otherwise ambiguous to properly form a cogent label. However, in the Hollywood sign's case, just rendering each letter as a label would be obvious to most people (albeit somewhat unusual) and helpful (since it's possible navigate in Hollywood relative to the H and the D in that sign, something that I generally do to orient myself since, despite having lived just over the hills in the valley for a number of years, I never learned the street names out of a lack of need).
