Those double names in the is_in tag are still remnants of some (I think 
German) import from the OpenGeoDB. Happened quite some time ago, without any 
input from the Belgian OSM community and hence had these weird issues like 
double names. I remember mentioning it to these folks but they never fixed it.

Anyway, for things like how to handle is_in tags, best to look at the 
international mailing lists, no use in making our own set of rules here.

Greetings
Ben
