Based on which uses of admin_level=3? A quick scan of the wiki shows admin_level=4 as states or provinces for several countries. I guess the biggest reason they are admin_level=4 now is, "that seemed like the way to go in 2009"[1], but that wouldn't prevent a change for a compelling reason. [1] wiki history of the admin_level page goes back to 2009, the tag use in USA could pre-date that. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
