We can't fix State Parks<br>
by making them 'boundary=national_park admin_level=4' because they<br>
don't function as 'national park' in the IUCN deffinition of the term.<br>
Instead, the typical State Park is a hybrid of nature_reserve and<br>
recreation_ground and park and maybe a few other things. Requiring<br>
that those land uses be mapped separately leaves no whole to which the<br>
name and boundary can be assigned, but the whole doesn't really have<br>
anything binding it together other than a protection status, a<br>
coterminous set of boundaries and a name.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Doesn't seem to fit national parks in the UK either.
