I'm glad to see that others have been thinking along the same lines.  Your
post was more detailed and explains it better than I did.

Try this as a proof of concept:

http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.3/map?bbox=-0.5,51.5,0.5,52

It will filter and return just those nodes that have a k="place" tag.

Caveat: this is running off a database built from a planet.osm that is
several weeks old, and it's running on a very small box, but it will accept
larger bboxes than the main OSM server.
