Hello,

I am playing around with the experimental discrete isolation features of 
Osm2pgsql. Following the documentation in 
https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#strategy-discrete-isolation and the 
blogpost 
https://blog.jochentopf.com/2022-12-19-selecting-settlements-to-display.html.

The goal is similar to the blog post, to improve the rendering of worldwide 
train stations on the map, using a calculated measure of importance stored in a 
database column. Some work in progress is in 
https://github.com/hiddewie/OpenRailwayMap-vector/pull/633.

In the original blog post is the sentence

> For the map above I used the formula "discr_iso_rank < (3.5 ^ @zoom_level) * 
> 10 and importance_rank < (10 ^ @zoom_level)" to decide which places to show 
> and which not to show. Of course, that’s only an example and it has to be 
> tuned for different types of maps etc.

I would like to understand the exact meaning of the three columns `discr_iso`, 
`irank` and `dirank` better, in order to tune the values in the SQL queries. 
Can you elaborate on the exact meaning of the columns, the (expected) value 
ranges, and what high and low values mean, and how to interpret the values in 
the columns together?

Thanks in advance.
