The problem with the missing municipalities also exists in OSMAND where
some as Kortessem and Wellen are not listed although they are in OSM.
A solution for tagging boundaries can be checking for natural boundaries
= rivers, in different sources first. In Flanders those rivers as
natural boundaries are mostly good visible on the AGIV air imagery.
But what about a similar usable tool for Wallonie. I didn't hear more
about how to use a similar source as AGIV for Wallonie in JOSM (?).

As you could see from the link in my previous post, Mallien is mapped

"The OFM map looks at the administrative boundaries on OSM to assign
the streets to a place:

<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Boundaries#Namur>
First it looks in level 8 (municipality of Assese) and if available,
it looks deeper at a section (sub municipality) admin_level=9. I dont
know if this is the case in Maillen.
If there exists such a section of level 9, it must be entered in OSM.
If there is no section, streets could be tagged with is_in
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in>
If those sections are not specified, the map cannot find a street in
Maillen so you must either enter Assesse or try another OSM map (no
guarantee it work either) or a commercial map."
So in order to make OFM work, we need the boundaries for Mallien as a
relation. We do not have them in OSM at this moment.
Those borders are hard to get. I don't know the situation for this in
Wallonia. In Flanders we have a lot of admin-level 9 boundaries
(deelgemeenten), but even there the list is not complete. Maybe Julien
Fastré or André know more about this.
In general, we have to base ourselves on out-of-date maps for the
borders. We are not allowed to copy them from Google or other
institutions that ask a lot of money for that data. Sometimes
governments open up a datasource with those boundaries. This is not
the case in Belgium.
Furthermore most recent databases from the government do not care
about those "deelgemeenten", which makes it even harder to get access
to a source to use.

Maillen
The good news is that the village is in the OSM-data [1].
The bad news is that we now have to find out why it does not
appear in the map you have downloaded.
Did you try the the Benelux Full version [2] ? I assume it is more
detailed.
Otherwise you can always contact the maker of the map via
i...@openfietsmap.nl <mailto:i...@openfietsmap.nl>He can explain
which information from OSM is available in the different versions
of his map.
