+1, with the exception of very dense areas where the administrative area and the settlement do indeed coincide. in this case there is already a place-tag at an area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/169202820 but there is no name on it, so I am not sure if this hamlet is describing the same object than the place=village with name Sachsendorf. It is also not clear to which settlement this area belongs: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/88233220 (well, you could guess from the administrative relation, but the place tags don't tell it). (that's why it is generally not a good idea to add place tags to a residential landuse, because typically there will be other landuse as well in a settlement). cheers, Martin
