how would this help in the dispute between Italy and France about where the mountain peak (area) of Mont Blanc / Monte Bianco belongs to [1]? Or for offshore areas? Our aim should not be to satisfy officials, but to depict the actual situation. Yes, control of the area is a very good indication where it can be used, but things are not always so clear (areas without effective control by one party do exist). Most of the countries are involved in claims of disputed borders? Fine, then it should be mapped like this, even if it doesn't please officials of one country or another. cheers, Martin [1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenzverlauf_auf_dem_Mont_Blanc
