There is a multitude of place= values which are definitly not a
Village/City
farm
continent
county
island
locality
region
state
These should all be ignored when building the index for Villages.
It should more be a positive list of tag values which get listed -
something like:
town
village
hamlet
isolated_dwelling
suburb
There should be some duplicate eliminating when the name shows up in the
Map title. e.g. dont list "Gütersloh" when that shows up in the map
title ...
