No problem, actually. I should have answered Simone directly, when he asked:

I was relaying an actual case of this.

And when this tag would be absent, but Amsterdam does have capital=yes,
does it then mean that I should think Amsterdam is the provincial capital?
And what about the Seat of Government. Do we record that anywhere? This
isn't always located in the country capital either.
