I'm against this definition. A continent is a geographical separation, not an 
administrative/political one.

I'd say that admin_level=1 should separate supranational *economic* entities, 
i.e:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_South_American_Nations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Union

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asian_Union
