Sure: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96104334 is an outer maritime boundary at 12 mile distance from the baseline separating the territorial waters from the high seas. OTOH https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54749533 is a maritime boundary between two countries. You might say this difference is not of practical importance for data users but there are for example many maps which generally do not show the first type of boundary but which do show (at least partly) the second type of boundary. Like this: http://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/cia16/denmark_sm_2016.gif You can of course determine this difference from the spatial relationship of the boundary relations. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
