Is that really so different ? It is a renderer issue. Mapnik decides
to not draw one of the names in case of collision. But another
renderer could make it differently, drawing a name above the other, or
using smaller font, etc...
Of course, layer has not to be used in a general context but only in
something like this:
if (A.place "is not equal to" B.place)
select A or B
else
if (A.admin_level "is not equal to" B.admin_level
select A or B
else
//A.admin_level = B.admin_level
select highest A or B layer
