 I'm doing a reverse geocode and would like to see the village/city of a
 particular point.

 For example:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=42.05033650&lon=-87.98355006&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

 Returns:
 <reversegeocode timestamp="Fri, 16 Mar 12 21:39:30 +0000"
 attribution="Data Copyright OpenStreetMap Contributors, Some Rights
 Reserved. CC-BY-SA 2.0."
 querystring="format=xml&lat=42.05033650&lon=-87.98355006&zoom=18&addressdetails=1">
 <result place_id="87567334" osm_type="way" osm_id="94668565"
 lat="42.0498306219343" lon="-87.9825624288919">
 Arlington Heights Fire Station, South Arlington Heights Road, Schnells
 Corner, Cook, Illinois, 60005, United States of America
 </result>
 <addressparts>
 <fire_station>Arlington Heights Fire Station</fire_station>
 <road>South Arlington Heights Road</road>
 <hamlet>Schnells Corner</hamlet>
 <county>Cook</county>
 <state>Illinois</state>
 <postcode>60005</postcode>
 <country>United States of America</country>
 <country_code>us</country_code>
 </addressparts>
 </reversegeocode>

 This point is in Arlington Heights, but the Village does not appear in the
 results.  This "Schells Corner" is too large, but that's another problem.

 If I nudge that point a little North, the Hamlet disappears and the
 correct Village appears:

 <country_code>us</country_code>
 </addressparts>
 </reversegeocode>

 Is there a reason city/village does not appear in the results when hamlet
 does?  Can I always see the city/village in the result?

 Thanks.
