Why is this so logical?  The exact same data can be derived from the
intersection of the sets of elements in the two countries' (single-level)
border relations.  It seems to me that because both shcmes can satisfy the
use case, the preferable approace would be the simpler one, which I see as
being the single-relation approach.
