Yes, please!
My hometown Baden-Baden in Germany (population 55,000) isn't displayed
on the mapnik layer up to zoom level 11, but the adjacent town
Sinzheim is, although there are only about 12,000 residents.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.75&lon=8.25&zoom=10&layers=B0T
Both places are tagged as towns, since Map Features states to use
"place=town" between 10,000 and 100,000 people.
Additionally, Sinzheim is (just) a municipality of the "Landkreis"
Rastatt, whereas Baden-Baden is a so-called "kreisfreie Stadt" and on
the same administrative level as Rastatt.
