I had a look at this. Of the 409,000 admin boundary relations in OSM
there are 52 with an operator tag. After discounting the ones where
people should have used the short_name tag and the ones where someone
had put school districts in at admin_level 11, you are left with about
10. As far as I could tell by trying to search for these entities they
are all examples of someone putting in things at the wrong admin_level
or things that they wanted to appear on the map and then trying to fix
that by putting an operator tag on.
The wiki just says LGA border (eg. Shire/Council) for level 6. If you're
worried we could just add eg. Shire/Council/Unincorporated).
It actually says:
"Local Government Authority Border (e.g Shire/Council)"
Unincorporated is not a "Local Government Authority"
Plus I think Local Government Areas are useful things to have in OSM,
what admin_level do you suggest we set aside for them?
