The main one I came across was is_in:continent=Europe. I asked why
there wasn't one. The conclusion was no one could agree where the
boundary actually was. Saying that, I'm unsure if specifying
is_in:continent=Europe is that beneficial.<br>
<br>
Also many local authority political ward boundaries aren't in the
database.<br>

Should we go a bit further and strip out all is_in tags not used
by Nominatim across Britain (which may mean all of them), or are
there other uses we should consider? The community in France did
that when they finished mapping communes.<br>

Hi<br>
I'm unsure if Northern Ireland, Wales & England
should be tagged as 'states'.<br>
<br>
A new user's changeset comment:<br>
Adding more info. is_in:country_code was missing. Also
classified Northern Ireland as a state so it appears
in the same priority as Wales. Was unclassified before<br>
