Besides administrative boundaries, the admin_level=* tag may also be used on features tagged with government=*. The admin_level=*values described below also apply to the capital=* and heritage=* tags." —__ I propose something much more explicit like "admin_level describes the administrative level of an object within a government hierarchy. A lower level means higher in the hierarchy. This tag is used for the borders of territorial political entities (e.g. country, state, municipality) together with boundary=administrative. Due to cultural political differences, admin levels of different countries only correspond approximately to each other." as a first paragraph. Objections or additions? Cheers, Martin
