The great advantage of this definition for mapping is that it is an
undisputed fact, on the ground.
You put lots of caveats into this, which leads lots of grounds for disputes.
One thing to remember is that OSM is international and the
town/village/city concepts don't map cleanly to other cultures. Even US
English has a rather different concept of city.
What I've seen, in the context of other countries, is population being
favoured as the determiner. Obviously you can get over-pedantic about
borderline cases.
The thing that makes the UK difficult is that the tag values look like
the common language terms and match well enough to be right, a lot of
the time.
