I have a feeling we discussed this a few months ago. My suggestion would be to simply use numbers, if you're talking about a ranking scheme: aeroway=aerodrome aerodrome_level=1|2|3|4|5 This avoids all the problems we get when one country uses "regional" to mean something different from another, and the mappers there hate using "regional" in a way that is non-intuitive to them. Whereas with numbers, we can simply say "in Timbuktu, regional is a level 2, but in Germany it's level 3". Also, I definitely think we should try and align to external standards.
