2) Boundary relation or place=* for higher administrative units? The overlap is especially visible in case of countries (but same arguments apply for other units like states, counties, ...). Majority of counties are in database represented twice - as node with place=country and with admin_level=1 boundary relation.
Note however that there is no 1:1 relationship between place=... and admin_level - e.g. something on admin_level 8 could be a place=city or place=town, or (in Germany) something on admin_level can be a place=state or place=city capital=yes or so.
I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions on these issues.
It might be worth studying the Nominatim code, or asking the Nominatim coders, how they deal with this - they might have interesting insight.
