It would not only allow the user to choose the layers to display but make it much easier for new mappers. Boundaries do provide a benefit when analyzing osm data. Boundaries allow for measuring of features inside boundaries. To me one of the important reasons for having boundaries in OSM is for use with GPS units. Knowing that I'm in a specific jurisdiction is helpful. It might mean that I can expect to find answers to questions from the city or county. Or it might mean that I need to pay for a permit to take pictures on a Pueblo. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
