Have a look at Gemeinde Gutenbrunn: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/406819 Zoom to the borders and see how they are labeled. It reads "Gemeinde Gutenbrunn", "Gemeinde Bärnkopf", and so on. In the Talk-AT mailinglist, someone raised the issue that "Gemeinde Gutenbrunn" is not the correct name. It's actually just "Gutenbrunn". But imagine the borders just labeled "Gutenbrunn". You won't know whether it's a commune, or a district, or a state, etc. Some borders are state border, district border, and commune border at the same time. They are labeled with the names of state, district, and commune. You won't know which is which. I am happy with current rendering, and I want to keep that when the names are stripped. The OSM mapnik layer will hopefully add the amin_name to the border labels, so that Gutenbrunn will show up as "Gemeinde Gutenbrunn" again, or as "Gutenbrunn (Gemeinde)" or "Gemeinde: Gutenbrunn" or similar. How would you like the Berlin border labeled? Well, I guess just "Berlin", because there's only one administrative unit with that name, and everybody in the world knows what Berlin is. This is really an exceptional case. But imagine Brandenburg would be called "Land Berlin". Then you would probably want to distinguish the city of Berlin from the state of Berlin. -- Friedrich K.
