You can already get a textual description like this via the "Where am I?" link
below the search box. There was a recent discussion about what might be done to
improve this and the other geolocation features of OSM:

Well I never ... How long has that been there?
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ down at the moment? I'm only seeing short a
GeoNames result. The comments on that link certainly points out the poor title.
Even if I had noticed it, I doubt I would have twigged it was 'Where am I
looking at?'
Curious ... I'm not getting anything at the moment. Just a blank 'tab'.
But this should work the same as the pop-ins on the other side? Moving the
centre of the map is irritating :( Actually if the 'results' from that just
appeared in the share pop-out?
