I'm not sure that it would be wise to imply that a capital of an area is
also the capital of lower-level areas. There are plenty of examples
where this is NOT the case; Amsterdam is the capital of The Netherlands
(but NOT the seat of government), but Haarlem is the capital of the
province which contains Amsterdam. I think there is no alternative but
to include the individual levels explicitly. Applications will just have
to get used to it...
How would you tag this using relations as you suggest?

I've modified this to capital=3;4 since it is also the provincial capital.
I'd only set the highest admin_level (lowest number) on the node.
Otherwise you would probably have to tag most nodes with
capital=3;4;6;8;10 or something like that. I'd use relations for more
detailed modelling.
