The main one I came across was is_in:continent=Europe. I asked why there
wasn't one. The conclusion was no one could agree where the boundary
actually was. Saying that, I'm unsure if specifying
is_in:continent=Europe is that beneficial.
Also many local authority political ward boundaries aren't in the database.

Should we go a bit further and strip out all is_in tags not used by
Nominatim across Britain (which may mean all of them), or are there
other uses we should consider? The community in France did that when
they finished mapping communes.

Hi
I'm unsure if Northern Ireland, Wales & England should be tagged
as 'states'.
A new user's changeset comment:
Adding more info. is_in:country_code was missing. Also classified
Northern Ireland as a state so it appears in the same priority as
Wales. Was unclassified before
Doesn't make sense to me.
"A high-level sub-national political entity
(Wikipedia-16px.png Federated state
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Federated_state>) in several large
countries such as USA ("State"), Australia ("State"), Canada
("Province"). May also be applicable in other countries and
languages, "Provincia", "Estado", "Land" - whether is should be used
is up to you and mappers in your own country."
We are not a federated country. Suggest we revert it. Why is Wales a
state in the first place.
