IMHO this discussion is a bit off base. OSM should not be a database of
general facts about the world - there are much better places for that
(see dbpedia, for one). We should store basic information that is likely
to be useful to a renderer (capitals tend to get rendered differently
from other cities), and leave it at that.
So, this suggestion:
capital=4
...is good. And a role relation for the city to its
province/state/country would be handy, too.
