deducting the importance from population alone doesn't hit it, and adding ranks 
is generally disputed by many mappers (subjective), so here there is no easy 
solution. IMHO there is not even a complicated solution, as it is indeed 
subjective how to weight different aspects like economy, politics, 
transportation, communication, religion, ...

using our own data here has become relatively easy and doable in the meantime 
(boundaries much completer than years ago when NE was inserted in the style), 
could create a shapefile with reduced detail for low zoom similar to how we do 
for the coastlines.

cheers,
