It could be tagging for the renderer. A 'locality' tag causes a label to appear on the map.
That has crossed my mind. Actually, that is how the issue came to my attention - on my GPS navigation software, which uses OSM maps, it appears as if the area is riddled with lots and lots of villages or something, on every field. Maybe I should contact the Navit developers and suggest that "locality" tag is not rendered any more in Navit.

Just because a place is unpopulated doesn't mean the place doesn't have a name! Well, looking at the map, it looks like each and every parcel of land and section of field has a locality tag associated with it. Even allowing for places which don't exist any more and other local/cultural differences, it still seems a bit odd - and begs the question if those tags really need to be there. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org <mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk <https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk>
