 A boundary tagged with admin_level:8 shows up as '''City Boundary''' in
 search results list; only if I change it to admin_level:9 or above it
 shows as '''Village Boundary'''. Since the meaning and use of village in
 different countries vary babylonic I feel the need to help nominatim find
 the right term to show the type of the boundary. One idea could be to
 additionally add a ''place=village|suburb|municipality'' to the relation.
 Up to now adding a '''place tag''' to a relation does not seem to have any
 effect...
