agreed, place=locality is about a named place, and is so generic, it can
mean a whole lot of different things. Sooner or later someone might come up
with a proposal to subtag these, or we might have invented in the meantime
more specific tags for natural objects and other things, so that people
don't tag them as locality any more.
