I think the best option would be for the renderers to support distinctive rendering in different regions without requiring any additional disambiguation. Even though U.S. states are the "same" as French régions, Swiss cantons, or German Länder, in that they are all first-order administrative sub-divisions, the prominence and independence of those administrative sub-divisions clearly varies dramatically from one country to another. I really don't mean to suggest that a tag should be added to the border to indicate that the border should be rendered a particular way. But if the renderers can't or won't support distinctive regional renderings, the perhaps it would be appropriate to suggest a a tag that indicates how important a particular administrative subdivision is? -Scott -- Scott Atwood Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia. ~H.G.
