1. place=district makes sense. We should change this. 2. Looking at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative it seems like admin_level=6 is a popular choice for a district level unit in the other big countries, larger than India. Its a good idea to use 6 for consistency. And it allows use to use the 5 slot for the zonal councils.
