I agree with this, it allows people to make accurate UK maps if they want but avoids imposing a complicated new tag requirement on the default stylesheets and so other countries, and corresponds to everyday use. As a former resident of both, I'd be quite happy to see St Albans change to "place=town" and Reading stay as "place=city". At the other end of the scale we have a similar fudge with town / village / hamlet / suburb and the mysterious locality in big cities. A year or two ago I changed various values around south London to try and take a consistent approach basely simply on how they are rendered, to ensure places with big town centres are shown more prominently than those with small ones.
