<span class="gmail_quote"></span>But it is still unclear what to use for border_type. Someone should update the wiki because that one still says to use boundary=national. <br><div><span>
I do still think it is unclear to have the same rendering for city borders as for country borders<span></span></span></div></blockquote></span></div><br>There should be several visually related renderings that form a progression, so that country borders have the thickest/boldest lines, and commune boundaries form the smallest. Mapping from names of types of units (county, district, municipality, region, department, parish, commune, canton, state, etc...) to significance level is probably going to depend upon the country, unfortunately.
</blockquote><div><br>I can see two solutions:<br><br>1.- Add data for the renders: use a border_level tag to specify that. So a border_type=canton with border_level=5 in one country will render the same as border_type=department with border_level=5 in other. Each country community should define which border_level matches which border_type, starting from some common types for all countries (like border_type=country, border_level=1).
<br><br>2.- Define the type classification for each country, and let the renders guess the right renderings according to the border_type and lat/lon.<br><br>Quico<br></div><br></div>
