Hi,

I did a test of the whole Benelux area plus border regions, splitted from the europe extract, and found a lot of cities in the border areas that were assigned to the wrong country. So I don't agree that admin_level=2 is working fine. 

I also observed a lot of elements that were not processed because they did not contain a name tag, for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/93135578. Of course it has no name, because it belongs to two place name relations: Ter Aar and Nieuwveen, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1354658 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1354654 The fact that the complete relations are not completely within the tile can be a reason for this warning? Despite the warning, most of the streets in those areas seemed assigned to the correct place names btw. So it seems functioning and I'm happy with it, apart from the wrong country names. The mkgmap compiling time for the whole Benelux area grew from 1,5u to roughly 2 hours.

For admin_level=2 it works. The problem starts with the other levels. 
The assignment between admin_level and is_in:xxx tag is somehow country 
specific.
