Isn't that what the "designation" tag is supposed to be for? As long as this is about qualifying a "place" (node or area). When it comes to administrative boundaries, it's different, as a "city council" is nothing special - it's just a honorific title that some councils (county, district or parish) may have acquired. The "designation" tag is already in use for admin boundaries to indicate the formal type of council (county? parish? london borough?) so I would suggest a simple "city=yes" or (better, IMHO) council_style=city to make it clear that it is only a name, as far as local government is concerned. I am working on a consolidated overview of tagging for UK admin boundaries which includes this provision: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Csmale/ukboundaries In some places the city status is not held by any council, but by charter trustees (Bath, for example). The boundaries may or may not correspond to extant administrative boundaries. Colin
