[Imports] Honduras Imports

[Scott Clark]

Hey, I missed this thread earlier and found it in the archives.  Antonio 
is right on for how the admin boundaries work for Honduras.  This is 
from a public domain official source as well.  The local community isn't 
organized but there has been some good work by the folks there who are 
active.

As a contributor to this area, I +1 this and am happy to help move this 
forward.

This is a big deal for Honduras and their use of OSM - especially in 
terms of use in risk assessment and disaster response.

If I move Aldeas to level 9 or 10, then I wouldn't have where to include cities and neighborhoods.

- National Border (admin level 2)
- free
- Departamentos (to be admin level 4)
- free
- Municipios (to be admin level 6)
- free
- Aldeas (to be admin level 8)
- Cities (to be admin level 9)
- Barrios y Colonias (to be admin level 10)

Iceland, Guatemala, Lebanon and Mexico are examples of using admin level 6 to Municipios, and I think we have to acknowledge each country is different, very difficult to try to model one after another

So about local community, yeah well its almost non existing but I will wait a few weeks to seeif anyone has anything to say
