{{key|border_type}} is described as an alternative and sometimes complement to
{{key|admin_level}} . I have recently been drawing subdivision boundaries
based on County GIS data and including {{tag|border_type|subdivision}} as part
of a relation of type border; see for instance
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2672911 . --ceyockey
I've also been using border_type as a way of distinguishing between
cities and villages, which have the same admin_level in my state.
However, I've been content with mapping suburban subdivisions as landuse
areas rather than boundary relations. It's a lot easier for other
mappers to work with.
The benefit of admin_level is that renderers know what to do with them
right out of the box, whereas every country has different border_type
values with different levels of significance.
