[mkgmap-dev] Object labels and zoom levels

I have the following problem in my maps: at low zoom levels MapSource renders the name of some highway=* objects in places such as villages or cities, but it doesn't show the names of the place=* object. Showing the name of a street in a village you don't know which one is doesn't seem to be very useful. Is there a way to control zoom level at which labels are rendered, independently from the resolution of the named object in the style? Is it possible to give precedence to place=* labels instead of highway=* ones? See attached screenshots of the same area at 5 km zoom level and high detail level from my maps, openfiestmap and openmtbmap to note the difference.
