I agree with the quick and dirty hack part, but I don't see why this should be limited to national capitals. I am using these tags in Italy for the capitals of the provinces as well, and it works fine for my purpose (rendering). I see it as a simple way to mark the administrative importance of a place, that's why I find it sufficient to mark the most important capital role (lowest admin_level) and not all of them. > To tag the centre of a lower > administrative level, add it as admin_centre role into the appropriate > relation. No need to re-invent the wheel ; I agree that for precise modelling the boundary relations (also additional) are the approach to go, and that this permits to express exactly for which area a place is the administrative center. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
