That is absolutely my point, we should tag the facts and leave it to different renderers to then use those facts in the way that best suits their users.
The question that needs to be answered is what "fact" does place=city represent in UK mapping.
Your assertion is that it should be those places granted city status by the government. Other people are suggesting alternatives.
There is a long history of tags in OSM not meaning quite what a natural british english interpretation would suggest, because meaning ideally needs to be similar across the globe so we need to find a local way in each area to define what a tag means so that meaning does not deviate too much across the globe.
