I'd see it like this:
capital=2     this place is the capital of a country
capital=4     this place is the capital of a region (etc.)

i.e. you can see the administrative importance, but there is no notion
of which entity the place is the capital.

capital=2;4 doesn't make much sense then.

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.
