Because someone ("Loll78") changed the correct entities in the table last 
January and because I'm not checking each wiki edit?

I have no idea what the concept of a "town" would be in Belgium.

Yeah, there is a concept like it in some places, but it's not strictly defined 
as far as I know. Nevertheless I kept the admin_level 10 open for it. I don't 
think there's a level 10 boundary mapped in OSM in Belgium.

As said, it had the correct info until someone changed it for some reason. And 
if I remember correctly, it's the same person who wrongly mapped those 
boundaries.
