[Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

[Zeke Farwell]

Does anyone see a problem with simply using the same admin_level tag
currently in use with boundary=administrative, in combination with
aeroway=aerodrome?  A new aerodrome_importance tag could be created, but
admin_level is already in use so why not make it multi-purpose.  All we'd
have to do is come up with the appropriate zoom levels for each admin_level,
request that this combination be added to the Mapnik stylesheet, and then
we'd need a chart on the wiki similar to the admin_level chart for
boundaries to be filled in by mappers in each country.  Seems reasonable to
me….
