Issues with the DNS taxonomy have been evident for a very long time (it 
was one of the things some colleagues and I struggled with when we set 
up an ISP in 1994).

But adding on extra layer only solves some of the problems, because even 
for cities there are duplicates (eg "Lincoln" is a regional capital in 
both UK and USA, "Cambridge" is a well known University and regional 
capital in the UK, as well as a university town in USA).
