<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t really seem to have tags that currently describe settlement patterns.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

<p class="MsoNormal">The “hamlet” has a name (which is used in the address) but the “dispersed settlement” doesn’t as it is just describes a pattern of buildings, hamlets, farmyards etc.

In summary: we have an excellent source of mapped dispersed settlements in Europe; absence of any specific tags for such places has only slightly impeded mapping (although perhaps a rigorous insistence on locality having no population may make it harder);

<div class="gmail_extra">yes, basically what you are telling us is that you've mapped these settlements as place=locality, which is not in line with the wiki definition of place=locality.<br>
