You have probably not read the posting to which Jochen refers. It is here: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2009-January/032904.html It distinguishes between "boundary=administrative" (which would denote the political boundaries, be they on water or on land), and "land_area=administrative" (for the land area). Other than this distinction, both are tagged the same. A landlocked country will have just one border relation that is tagged boundary=administrative AND land_area=administrative, whereas a country with maritime borders will have two relations that partly use the same ways, partly not. Crucially, the coastline ways are never tagged with any boundary tag; they are just included as-is in the land_area=administrative relation.
