Hi, on the talk-de list we are talking about the OSM main page and in particular about the link to the map legend. It is named "Map key", a for most German users uncommon word. The English word "legend" would much better correspond to the German "Legende", what would help at least users in Germany

boundary=maritime? They are not political boundaries in the way countries are, since you can't actually physically mark them in any useful way. It's more like, "in this area we consider you subject to our laws". Whether anyone cares is quite another issue. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterh
