   I would say not to touch any hamlets; let the locals fix them up 
appropriately.   Their presence doesn't hurt anything, aside from the 
small geocoding hiccup or map not rendering optimally.

   I'm not entirely sure how to tag apartments and subdivisions; I just 
convert to an area if known and choose something that renders the name. 
  In a few cases, I deliberately left points which are fuzzy 
neighborhoods, but in reality define a circle of geocoder influence as 
today's geocoder is implemented.
