Pierre I beg to differ, the OSM wiki states "The place=locality tag can be used to name unpopulated place which is not associated with any feature to which such a tag could be associated."
By default many small or unpopulated places are tagged as localities in canvec. When I preformed the upload along a remote northern rail line, I checked the community against a Government of Manitoba list and the census to determine if a place was populated. We do need some sort of tagging to indicated the railway significance, but I have used place=locality on road locations in both urban and rural environments as well (http://osm.org/go/Wpz83vHj2-- and http://osm.org/go/Wp5TRnmtN--).
