Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

My previous response said "In general, the strata are constructed as combinations of v024 and v025. In most of the recent surveys, the strata are given by v022 or v023 (and they are the same) as combinations of v024 and v025. The Nigeria 2003 survey is an exception. The sampling clusters are given by v023. This survey and other exceptions appear in the following file (attached below)."

What I said is correct. I only took the time to look up the 2003 survey, because you had singled it out. You looked up the other three surveys and found that they, too are exceptions. Glad you did that.

The strata specifications in "Survey_strata.do" should be considered to be definitive.
