You are ignoring that most (BUT NOT ALL!!!) country capitals are also state (region) capitals. nope - the logical _relation_ of the city and the country/state has to be established in the osm-relation of the regarding country/state with an appropriate role. The information at the node itself will be only an information about importance in the end - not to say as renderer hint. And for this case a "value is less or equal" will be sufficient.

Someone who wants to look up all state capitals might just check all nodes for capital=4 (because it's the logical thing to do) not knowing that it can only be done correctly by also looking at relations.

Looking for all state capitals is not within the scope of the capital tag, as you will miss those which are also capitals for bigger entities like countries. You might have to look up all capital=1/2/3/4/yes places and remove those which aren't state (level 4) capitals. Yes, rendering is probably the most important use case for this tag, why should that be a problem? cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
