Hi James, Yes, the specialized municipalities cause some problems.... I checked in the source listing and it should be (which won't produce a match, and therefore no change to existing nodes): Sherwood Park (Urban Service Area) = Hamlet Fort McMurray (Urban Service Area) = Hamlet
With the municipalities on would expect that a way would be used to mark the boundary, and this way would contain tags for the population. Towns/Villages/Hamlets within a specialized municipality could have a 'population=refer to xxx' as a marker (until we really work out what to do) and just place Town/Village/Hamlet node for name marking - the crime of tagging for the renders I guess. Crowsnest Pass also falls into this situation.
