Might explain how OpenCycleMap is off in spots at z=9 with state 
names at Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware (Delaware is a long way from 
Cumberland).  I'm not aware of the history or explanation of that, so 
perhaps I could have better read up on bug reports, Andy (Allan).

There are little messes in our map.  Yet, we do achieve harmony and 
consensus.  Even with all the skipping of that middle there, I 
continue to find OSM a most amazing project.

(Like, the way Bryce just stood up to help out now:  nice).

Stiching up admin_level=4 boundaries, ah, yup.  Quite a map we're 
knitting here.
