That would be a horrible overriding. is_in represents the physical (and
legal to some extent) regions something is in, rather than by which
authority happens to run it.
The operator= tag already is used for similar puposes, and would fit
well (Mostly bus routes I believe)
It might clash slightly with the suggestion for public to be used in the
operator tag to differentiate it from private medical establishments.
