Info can then be tagged and used by namefinder?
I take your point, but the general case is not just the namefinder - it's also about how large the captions are on renderings and whether place A or B gets the caption when the two would overlap. So we need to know relative importance in general, not just between far-apart places with the same names. Some kind of "importance" tag could do the job, but how we define it in a reasonably objective way that could be applied to more than just a few special cases is hard, unless we use things like population, local role and area, in which case why not tag these things directly.
