Mmmm, yeah, I consider is_in so close to being deprecated, especially with Nominatim, that imo there is very little gained by this sort of tagging. Can you determine if Nominatim performance is satisfactory in the area you'd propose to map like this? This walks right up to the edge of (and maybe crosses?) adding not-very-useful data (as we have geocoding and reverse-geocoding strategies that work pretty well). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
