[Tagging] city/settlement importance -- WAS [OSM-talk] The biggest violation of OpenStreetMap, ever.

[Janko Mihelić]

Making a rank or importance attribute is entirely subjective. It might as
well be a tag like importance:according_to:Bob=5.
If it was objective, then there could be a number like
annual_number_of_tourists=350000 or annual_number_of_pilgrims=1400000. For
economic importance some other figure, a number nobody can refute.
