More granularity / additional levels?

Seeing this fields more often, I'm wondering whether we should add it to the admin extension.

We'll likely have no common list of values as for the other fields, but probably is also good to just have a common name. We can just say that we keep the actual values undefined and it's up to the user to find the best practices for relevant countries themselves?

After level 1 everything becomes a bit more fuzzy. Some countries have many layers, and there are many orthogonal subdivisions. I have seen "Waterboard / water region", or "Statistical reporting area level 1 and 2". Ideally, the "admin:"-prefix annotates an attribute as some subdivision... But that's probably not supported or usefull for an extension.

Yeah, but in the other hand you already assign a common field name to them which is unfindabale in docs/extensions yet. But we can discuss this elswhere.

Or, in the administrative_division extension, we could suggest/standardize the concept of using the admin-prefix (e.g. admin_xxx) in column names for things we might later add to the extension. For readability, I can imagine using a general admin_level2 or a specific admin_county column. What do you think?
