David, It's up to the rendering engine how it wants to display the POI's. It doesn't matter how far apart they are, if you zoom out enough they'll overlap anyway. The thing to remember is we provide the data, the people who render the maps decide what to do with it. If they're making a static map, they'll have to pick what they think is most important, or maybe invent some sort of combination symbol for multiple POI's if they want. But the data may also be used by someone who's making interactive POI layers, where they turn different one's on and off. Or somebody who's making a map about some specialist topic, who ignores almost all POI's.
The default renderer on the the OSM site will only show one if there's multiple. But that doesn't mean everyone else who gets the data will as well.
