true, but with both political or geographic "is_in:continent" meaning, no need to duplicate the tag to all the houses, nor all the roads, nor all the cities. it's enought to put it at the highest possible level (country or one-level under for the few country spanned accrose several continent) I will propose cleaning in the local communities where I am active and it would be useful for other countries/regions to do the same.
