Hi Martin, Thank you. I've read recent discussion on the thread "Vermont Town boundaries from VCGI" & understood that points. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/2014-May/003132.html
So I do not have intention to add "place" tag to Way or Relation objects. I think "place" tag is to be used to Node (as relation's "admin_centre" role member). And my current proposal is in accordance with the admin_level scheme table as you suggested. The structure written in table is the fruit of our local consensus. So I also think it is mandatory to get agreement on local ML if tagging (county and/or state) might be changed.
