Following from the previous discussion (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2014-May/017515.html), it seems clear we would all like to know how these tags are being employed in each other's country. So if you know how it's being done in yours, or if you can try figuring it out, please take a minute to describe it here briefly. We will write a wiki article about it.
I'll start with mine, Brazil: - Brasília [1] [2], which is the political capital but not the largest city, has capital=yes - São Paulo [3] [4], which is the capital of the São Paulo state, has state_capital=yes - Campinas [5] [6], which is a regular city (though a very large and important), has neither of those tags None of them have admin_level=* tags. Brasília's relation is actually missing a capital=yes tag, but I'll wait to hear you before adding it (or removing it from others' relations).
