Hmm, difficult to distinguish the pilootgemeente in Lo-Reninge (or in
Heuvelland). I will have to check it locally I guess. Can we assume that the
town hall is in the pilootgemeente? Or do we have other means of knowing the
pilootgemeente?

This can be solved with the boundary relations. Huldenberg, Loonbeek,
Neerijse etc should have a boundary with admin level 9 and there should also
be a relation with admin level 8 around all of them. In the boundary
relation, you can set an admin_centre, so the POI of Huldenberg should be
admin_centre of two relations: one with admin_level 9 and the one with
admin_level 8.

I do often forget the admin_centre members myself, but I believe this is a
good way to do it.
