Question for the list: In reviewing prior imports of GNS into OSM, I note that it is customary to use the "is_in:country" and "is_in:country_code" tags to denote within which country a given point lies.
However, the situation in the Horn of Africa is not so simple. As you are all undoubtedly aware, the area internationally recognized as the Republic of Somalia also contains two other de facto autonomous regions: Puntland, and Somaliland, the latter of which has declared independence from Somalia. The data import that I am working on covers the entirety of the areas claimed by Somalia, Puntland, and Somaliland. Should I just leave out the is_in:* tags? Or should I leave them in, but use the names/codes recognized by other national governments? I don't want to get into trying to denote anything more complex than that. Thoughts?
