As far as I can see, Brussels is in the French Community as well as being it's own region. It does get a mention in the Flemish Community relation too as the administrative centre. Is this not the case? Searching for Brussels on the main site www.openstreetmap.org returns "Brussels, French Community, Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium, Europe" as the top result. Edit: Having done a bit of reading in wikipedia, I think the issue might be that the region boundary ways should also be in the Flemish Community relation with roles of inner (to exclude the area from the Flemish Community). The node can remain as the administrative centre though as that does seem to be correct. 1

I think Brussels is a disputed area between French and Flemish communities in Belgium. An edit war is higly probable as many other disputed political areas in the world (but this is one of the most sensible in Europe today).
