No, because a constituency boundary or voting district is not itself an administrative unit. It may be, but need not be. Constituencies for elections (from European Parliament region-blocks down to the level of wards for local councillors) are sometimes useful information, but they need their own tag, not admin_level. Hmm, I may have just contradicted what I said earlier... there are still little things like 'planned fire brigade co-ordination' which might justify English regions being treated as an administrative or political entity. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
