I'm thinking in particular of things like very large parks / open spaces, where a single label in the center of the area is difficult to spot. I see that TextSymbolizer has a spacing parameter, but it's my understanding that this applies only to line placement. In a perfect world, the "spacing" parameter would work for polygons as well as lines, perhaps arranging labels in a honeycomb pattern.
