This tag is already used 65,000 times, but actually on boundaries; it
was used for an import in Ireland with the values locality=townland
and locality=subtownland. (These seem to be incorrect usages, because
townlands seem to be populated places)
The townlands (& subtownlands) in Ireland were not imported. The were
hand mapped. Yes, it's possible for a small number of mappers to map
~65,000 things (over several years).
I gave a talk about the project at SotM 2016:
https://2016.stateofthemap.org/2016/mapping-irelands-61000-administrative-boundaries/
I believe the `locality=townland` was added for something for nominatim
or geocoding, but it depends on what JOSM preset one was using at the
same time 😛.
Given that 99.5%+ of the usage of the `locality` key was intentionally
added by Irish mappers (and not a bad import), how can you say it's
wrong? 😛
