Sorry for the late answer. It seems that the naming is related to the IPTC
specifications, where "sublocation" is described as:
"Name of a sublocation the content is focussing on -- either the location
shown in visual media or referenced by text or audio media. This location name
could either be the name of a sublocatioto a city or the name of a well known
location or (natural) monument outside a city. In the sense of a sublocation
to a city this element is at the fourth level of a top-down geographical
hierarchy"

So smaller that a city, a specific place.

See: http://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata ,
page 18.

(Luckily it has been replaced by two other keys, "Location Created" and
"Location Shown").

So no District for sure. Given that this is the official name of a tag, I
would leave Sublocation. If you agree, I can push the change myself: which
branches?
