Names for place=city, suburb, are not rendered at the moment. Since the wiki states that places can be areas, attached patch tries to correct this behaviour.

It would be really useful, to avoid people from tagging these places twice : as an area for the extent, and as a node for the label, as I often see.

This is being discussed on Github now:
gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto#103

Therefore, I will close this issue now.
