btw, there seem to be some less useful tags also on this node, at least
there's a slight redundancy and these could eventually be pulled from
wikidata (or determined spatially in the first case) when needed:
is_in:country
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is%20in:country?uselang=en-US>
United Kingdom

is_in:country_code
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is%20in:country%20code?uselang=en-US>
GB

is_in:iso_3166_2 GB-ENG


On the other hand I have noticed that wikidata has this population:
7,172,036 while osm has 8.416.535, for wikidata the most recent figure is
from 2001 so ours is likely more recent and relying completely on wikidata
for some tags seems still a bit too early.

Cheers,
Martin
