Server and boundary-processing is great; don't think we should  
automatically add is_in tags, though. If (as you, Andy and I have all  
now separately suggested, I think) the information can be fairly  
easily extracted from boundaries, there is no point in duplicating  
this in the database.

Better just to provide a webservice that, given a lat/long, can tell  
you what country (/county/parish) it's in.
