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.

cheers,
Martin
