In fact, python converter extracts not only single nodes, but the 
polygons too. In terms of OSM format, <way> objects are processed. 
Currently, the center of polygonal object is used as its coordinates, 
but it can be easy done to be configurable. Can you, please, be more 
specific about areas which, you think, are missing in output?

To be able to modify list of translatable amenities you need to optain a 
source and install the python interpreter to run it. If you are 
interested, write me a word and i'll explain in more details. But even 
if the amenity name does not exist in list of recognized amenities, 
converter adds the point with unprocessed amenity label. Of course, it 
happens only if converter recognizes the record as a POI.
If you have some POIs missing which, you believe, must be included in 
the output, show me an example file, which contains the data missing in 
converter output and I'll try to debug and correct the situation.

Thanks,
Lex
