I've used this request to reverse geocode addresses by lat lon: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=53.931012&lon=27.634799&zoom=18&addressdetails=1
I've had following response:
{
"licence" : "Data OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright",
"osm_id" : "305685489",
"address" : {

"city" : "Minsk",
"house_number" : "117",
"road" : " ",
"county" : " ",
"postcode" : "721859",

},

}
As you can see there is county field in response, but it is wrong. I tried to find this name on the map and and found this is administrative area with a4 level. According to following document
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Postal_Addresses#Address_Elements
county level is a2.
Why API returns county field for a4 level areas? Could you fix that pleas?
Thank you in advance.
