I've used both place=locality and landuse=residential/name=<whatever> in Wolverhampton recently. The advantage of drawing out the landuse area and using the name tag is that the name doesn't render until you've zoomed in close enough for the label to fit within that area (zooming in on one of your examples, see the Guinness Trust Estate here, though I don't think you need area=yes on a landuse area): http://osm.org/go/euuvVY2ns- If necessary the label will also wrap to multiple lines to fit within the area which isn't the case with the place=locality nodes. The current rendering works quite well in my opinion for Wolverhampton: http://osm.org/go/eux7kkx8- In the above example, Fordhouses, Oxley, Pendeford, The Dovecotes and Rakegate Estate have been done using landuse=residential areas and Aldersley and Claregate have been done using place=locality nodes.
