A lot of places have population=, ele=, is_in=, is_in:*=, name:*=, official_name:*=, *_name=, wikipedia=, capital=, various types of locations codes (off the top of my head) and most of these seem appropriate. > > is_in seems to have already moved to boundary information, as well as post > codes, population information and so forth should be shifted to the admin > boundaries as well if they haven't already. What if boundary is not defined but the hierarchy is defined, such as with post codes? Should people invent boundary polygons based on just what nodes/ways belong to the area? I hope not. This is the case with administrative hierarchy of regions/counties/municipalities in a lot of countries, in other countries there is no and possibly will never be any way to obtain the official boundary polygon information.
