Proposal: also use have-org-role-91 for capitals (of countries) #102

The special frame have-org-role-91 has served us very well, dramatically improving a wide range of semantic annotations.

I wonder whether we should extend it to capitals of countries and similar city-related concepts that are highly relational to a country (or subdivision thereof).

Example: French president Hollande flew to Rwanda's capital Kigali.

(f / fly-01
  :ARG0 (p / person :name (n / name :op1 "Hollande")
        :ARG0-of (h / have-org-role-91
              :ARG1 (c / country :name (n2 / name :op1 "France"))
              :ARG2 (p2 / president)))
  :destination (c2 / city :name (n3 / name :op1 "Kigali")
        :ARG0-of (h2 / have-org-role-91
              :ARG1 (c4 / country :name (n4 / name :op1 "Rwanda"))
              :ARG2 (c3 / capital))))

Other examples from the corpus: "capital", "main city", "financial center":

By contrast, we would not change "town", "village", "port city" etc. as those are much more inherent properties of cities, and not relational.

I agree that "capital", "financial center", etc. characterize relations, but they do not feel like organization roles to me. How about have-geo-role-91?

headquarter-01 strikes me as appropriate for some institution-location relationships (see #103), but not for relations between two locations.
