I have adsed a straightwordforward proposal to add the new tag
place=locality
All current place tags are for either populated areas, or for larger areas of County sized or bigger. The place=locality tag is useful for places that have a specific name, but do not necessarily have any geographic feature or population centre that could be used to attach a name tag to. The closest currently available is place=hamlet, but hamlet implies at least a small population centre.
I suggest that place=locality is rendered the same as place=hamlet.
Comments welcome on the proposed feature page.
Thanks,
Brent.
