There was a discussion on the coverage sub-group about what might
be meant by "placeName=Paris" (pardon my syntax..)
Some kind of hierarchy was suggested, with some argument over
big-endian vs. little-endian.
A simple indexer could just put everything in the keywords list, a

The Canadian site "Maple Square" is using a Location tag like this -
"CA,BC,Vancouver" for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
There's a well-known scheme for country codes; not so much for
subsequent elements outside USA/Canada.
