Hello Florian,

This is currently the case.

>         village
>         hamlet

This is what is currently done:
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/maposmatic/ocitysmap.git/tree/ocitysmap/indexlib/indexer.py#n412
"""
       where trim(name) != ''
             and (place = 'locality'
                  or place = 'hamlet'
                  or place = 'isolated_dwelling')
"""

As as said, for this particular bug the issue is not technical but
political. What is the general OSM worldwide consensus about the use
of such tags? Is there such a consensus?

Best regards,
david
