<div>It's a shop located in the Pierstraat in Reet. The building
has an addr:street tag and is part of an associatedStreet

Pierstraat - Matenstraat. Do a look-up for "Vero Golf" on <a href="http://osm.org" target="_blank">osm.org</a></div>

The issue seems clear to me, especially in French.<br>
We have 3 kinds of persons according to the official language they
speak, but we have <b>4 territories</b> one of which is bilingual
in the sense that their people can choose between two languages.
"behorend tot zowel" is ambiguous: it should made clear that it
speaks of the persons and not the territories.<br>
But that's obvious. A territory cannot be inside 2 disjoint
territories, and that's the problem...<br>
As OSM is obviously drawing territories, the communities do not fit
in relations, these must contain territories<br>
<br>
As nobody cares, as I am presently involved in Brussels
modifications, and as I know boundaries well, I can do that:<br>
- add a 4th territory aka community for Brussels.<br>
The only problem is how to name it.<br>
The three territories are called:<br>
<br>
Flemish Community, Communauté flamande, Vlaamse Gemeenschap,
Flämische Gemeinschaft<br>
French Community, Communauté française, Franse Gemeenschap,
Französische Gemeinschaft<br>
German-speaking Community, Communauté germanophone, Duitstalige
Gemeenschap, Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft<br>
<br>
They should normally not be called territories, but I'm not going to
start a misunderstood revolution.<br>
Brussels' Community? Bilingual Community?<br>
