Oh, here we go again... You are wrong. It's nothing like addr:country,
it's not duplicating any information, and the polygon approach is not
applicable.

I would really appreciate, if people would read on the local terms used
in this import before adding their "wisdom" that completely ignores
local conditions (aka "truth on the ground").

I did my best explaining at least the basics (in English) in my
previously referenced email to imports list. If someone is too lazy to
read that, then his/her claims and suggestions regarding this specific
import will most probably be worthless (as is the above example).

Best regards,
