* The USAID office is part of the American Embassy but is in a
separate office flat in a building across town, so would be a node
tagged diplomatic=embassy, embassy=assistance office. <br>
* The Turkish counterpart, TIFA, does not enjoy diplomatic status
so would be tagged diplomatic=other, other=assistance office. <br>
* The Libyan Economic Cooperation Bureau would be
diplomatic=other, other=trade office because it is accorded
diplomatic status by bilateral agreement, not the VCDR (there is
no Libyan Embassy here). <br>
* The American Center would be a node in an office building tagged
diplomatic=embassy, embassy=cultural center, while the Iranian
Cultural Center would be a building with the same tags, since both
enjoy diplomatic status as sections of their respective embassies.
<br>
* The Russian Consulate General has its own building and grounds
separate from the embassy, so would be an enclosed way tagged as
diplomatic=consulate, consulate=consulate general. <br></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you for a very detailed, very interesting post, Allan.</div><div><br></div><div>One question, please.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any way that a layman such as myself would know that "<span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">The Libyan Economic Cooperation Bureau would be diplomatic=other, other=trade office because it is accorded diplomatic status by bilateral agreement, not the VCDR", or is this sort of thing only known to Govt / diplomatic staff?</span></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Graeme </div></div></div>
