It is however perfectly ok the way it is with larger places, where  
the city name vanishes and is replaced by suburb names.

Ideally, we should let city names vanish if their suburbs become  
visible, and keep them if they don't have suburbs. This is currently  
difficult because there is no relationship between the suburb nodes  
and the city node so the renderer cannot know which city nodes to  
suppress when suburb names become visible... but that'd really be the  
thing you want: Switch to suburb names if the city has suburbs  
defined at all, but keep the city name if it doesn't.

Bye
Frederik
