<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Regarding Warin's
comment,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">> They did conform
to the 'rule' of embassy/high commission only in the capital.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">There is a small number
of highly visible exceptions to the rule of embassies and of
missions equivalent to embassies being located in the capital.
The various missions of member states to the United Nations in
New York and Geneva as well as the missions to the WTO in Geneva
come to mind (these are all missions to a multilateral
organization). Fortunately most other such international
organizations are located in national capitals (OECD in Paris,
NATO and the European Union in Brussels, OSCE and some UN
agencies in Vienna, other UN agencies in Rome). The easy way to
determine if a mission is equivalent to an embassy is to find
out who is in charge of it, which can be learned by Googling the
mission's website. Generally speaking, if the head of the
mission is an ambassador or charge d'affaires, the mission
should be tagged amenity=embassy. If the "principal officer"
bears a title with the word "consul" in it, the amenity in
question is a consulate. The obsolete head of mission titles
"minister plenipotentiary" and "envoy extraordinary" have fallen
into disuse and I don't think it likely we will encounter them.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am tempted to add
some text to the Key:amenity=embassy article outlining exactly
what an embassy is and how to recognize one, since an embassy
can be called different things (embassy, nunciature, mission,
legation, high commission, etc.) depending on who is sending it
and to whom it is accredited.<br>
