My main concern is to somehow discern the border of the German language area
(after all, it's the only border not at level 4).
I don't know if it's realistic, but maybe the German language area
could be the only thing mapped at level 5, the other borders being
obvious?
If it's not, I stand by my proposition to tag language areas (in the
constitutional sense) instead of communities.
We are not responsible for the choices made by the governement ;-) , we
map (the mess) as it is.
There is no German region, and thus no boundary at level 4.
There is only the community at level 5 comprising the Muncipalities of
Amel, Büllingen, Burg-Reuland, Bütgenbach, Eupen, Kelmis, Lontzen,
Raeren und St.Vith
Because at the governement the regions and communities are on equal
level and we have choosen in OSM to give them a different level (which I
support), you can not make assumptions on level 4 areas comprising level
5 things and vice versa. So the whole discussion with overlaps etc in
OSM is pointless. Belgium is illogical and complicated and this will
also show on the mapping.

(If someone is involved in the current governement negociations, maybe
they can ask for a region and province, etc for Brussels and the German
East Kantons too, so we can map this properly at all levels?)
[/Joking]
The language regions should IMHO not be mapped , and certainly not on
the administrative boundary level.

Gerard.
