Original Proposal

We have place=hamlet,village,town,city and so on, but we do not have something to describe islands. I am mainly thinking of small coastal or river islands which may have a small settlement or a farm; for them, the island name usually takes the place of the hamlet or village name. I suggest introducing place=island used in the same fashion as the aforementioned values are used now. --Woodpeck 17:02, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
