does that mean it's not ok to look at the lat/lon to find the list of pubs, but it's ok to look at the name tag? is that still true if i produce a planet derivative which automatically adds is_in tags based on the administrative boundary data - he can use that is_in tag? > In one case he has the data already (name of pub + as much knowledge > about the location as required for his application) and only links to > OSM as an additional source of info.
