should've asked for a room with a *better* view!

just for discussion's sake:  when the phrase "city/town" 
of license is used, can't we assume that "city/town" 
refers to the commonly-used name of a specific, 
geographic area?  or do we take "litspeak" (an Orwellian 
interpretation of "literally speaking") to this level 
every time and hold fast that we can only use "city" 
or "town" when the area is an officially recognized city 
or town?  i mean, if i say "traffic's a mess downtown" 
when referring to the city of Boston, am i subject to 
pillory?
how does the license on the wall of a radio station 
which exists in an area not designated a "town" or 
a "city" reflect the specific area of license?
if the station id says "White River Junction," does the 
license reflect that?  and if so, then what's the point 
of the issue to start with.  if the FCC recognizes White 
River Junction (along with the post office), then that 
should be sufficient, no?
