I've often been confused by the suburb tag and maybe someone can clear it up for me. The tags place=city, place=town, place=village, and place=hamlet are mutually exclusive; if a spot is in a place=village, then it's not in an adjacent place=town. It seems to be that place=suburb is regarded as hierarchically below place=city (at least); if a spot is in a place=suburb, it could also be in a place=city. Is that a correct understanding of the tag's usage? Could the proposed place=neighbourhood tag within a place=town or place=village be analogous to place=suburb within a place=city? (Assuming I'm correct here, I guess place=neighbourhood would strictly be hierarchically below place=suburb, so a suburb could comprise more than one neighborhood.) -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- <dark> eat Depends: cook | eat-out.
