That seems to be a favored suggestion re: parks. But there's no current tagging scheme which is appropriate. What admin level would a national park be? The same as a national boundary? So then you'd have this big purple border around a national park (in mapnik)? Well that clearly doesn't make sense, from a visual perspective then it would appear that the park was actually a hole within the national boundary. Maybe it's a separate nation contained within the nation at that point, nah that's stupid, clearly there are no countries where that is the case [1] [2] [3], it must be a national inholding. So then if we're going to use admin levels there should be a boundary type since administrative clearly doesn't work. But then we're back to the previous discussion about creating a new tagging scheme for parks and reserves. At that point you can do ownership, operator and admin_level with no problem. But so far, that doesn't exist. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesotho [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City -Tyler
