I agree it is sometimes not entirely clear whether a human settlement should be 
considered part of another settlement or a settlement of its own, particularly 
if it started as independent settlement and later got integrated 
(politically/socially). 

I would probably decide according to identity. How do the people living there 
feel themselves. This can also change with the time.

Looking at the legal administrative situation could also be a solution, but 
does not seem to be a sensible choice, because the administrative situation is 
already recorded with the boundary and admin level tags, i.e. place tagging 
would be reduced to merely echo the same information another time.


Cheers,
Martin
