I like your motivation. But maybe it's not necessary. Using
population=* achieves the same goal.

Consider the highway=* tag, which has come to refer to "the importance
of the highway for the road grid". Compare this to Simone's suggestion
that the place=* tag should refer to "an idea about the urban texture
of the country". Very similar ideas. If Simone's suggestion is the
consensus, perhaps it is worth trying to clarify this further.
