There is no algorithm which

counts the position above the area.
1. The icon will be always in the most reasonable place because
human beings know better.
2. Nodes can be, someday, exported as POIs and it will be easier to
find a node-parking rather than area-parking.
And how does a human being find the best place for an icon? I would
say by using an algorithm...
Not an algorithm implementable in xslt or other language in less
than few eons. That is how much it took Mother nature to develope
and finetune these algorithms. ;-)

How hard it is to design algorithms working in more that one dimesion.
