Which countries do you think should shift some admin_levels (up or down), or did I missunderstand and this was not the intended solution for the problem? As far as I can see corrisponding admin_levels generally are already in line with other schemes like NUTS/LAU. As the situation is different in different countries this might also be a problem (the same hierarchy level being much more fragmented in one country then in another) which is not solvable generally. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
