[I'd rather switch to top-down - country, state/province/county, place - because then location lists would come in a sensible order (all the
England places together, ditto all the US ones) rather than listing New Jersey, New York, and New Zealand next to each other - but can't,
because in the software I use (Brother's Keeper) the autocomplete
function for locations (F8) currently is only starts-with rather than contains, so I'd have to scroll through all the England places.]
Actually, that's one slight snag with your "use the modern name" policy
- when there's a major border move, and/or completely new county, what
was the modern name ceases to be so, so global changes are needed.
Probably less of a problem in the US as I don't think state boundaries
change much. (I don't know about US counties.)
