I'd add:

* admin_level=5 Community border

if only for the German community...

what about:

* admin_level=7 Arrondissements

> * admin_level=8 Municipal border

make that:

* admin_level=10 Deelgemeenten/districts/part-municipalities/whatever it 
is in French

(could someone tell me what deelgemeente is in french once so I can 
properly use that term? :-) )

do we need to go smaller? There's no adminstrative division smaller than 
that anymore... (okay, in Antwerp, each district is subdivided into 
quarters, but they don't have any adminstrative value)

Anyway, I'd rather know a place where we can get those boundaries :-)
