Kengaru <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Kengaru> keeps closing the
topic (without further reasoning why). The "problem" is that Crimea is
duplicate on Rayon level in Russia, as well as in the Ukraine.
Politically it is disputed, such is Kosovo, Cyprus and other regions,
though none that I know is "duplicate" on the admin-level.
With such duplicates, computers using OSM data need special fallback
procedures, adding complexity in order to avoid unnecessary errors.
As such, it would be good if the more active OSM users (I'm still a
Newbie) could decide how to solve this. Yes we cover for it now that we
became aware, but we're sure not the only one relying on such data being
not duplicate...?
Thanks a million - Juergen
