And what about the Seat of Government. Do we record that anywhere? This
isn't always located in the country capital either.
IMHO this discussion is a bit off base. OSM should not be a database of general facts about the world - there are much better places for that (see dbpedia, for one). We should store basic information that is likely to be useful to a renderer (capitals tend to get rendered differently from other cities), and leave it at that.

So, this suggestion:

capital=4

...is good. And a role relation for the city to its province/state/country would be handy, too.
