Hi Thorsten,

good points. When the tags like population are different the style may produce
different POI (different type, same label), so my solution
would not help in all cases. 
I also see the problem that we can
have duplicates which are really different, e.g. two small hamlets
with the same name (like Holzhausen which appears often in Germany).

So, maybe a less general approach:
Treat type=boundary relations special and detect the case
that a node member with role=admin_centre is present.
If that is the case, don't generate a POI.
I fear that will also cause trouble in some cases,
e.g. when the node with role=admin_centre doesn't have
the wanted tags :-(
