Really? What about South Osettia? I have hard time to think that anybody in Russia would "dispute" that, but it's recognized only by few countries. And I bet there's lot of Georgians who would like to see it mapped as part of Georgia. But while I fully understand them I recognize that South Osettia currently is de facto independent from Georgia. No hard feelings, but what you are pushing is politics. You don't like what you see in the map, fine. But that doesn't change anything. Fact is a fact. Kosovo is de facto country and while it's not fully recognized internationally, chances of that happening is much closer than any other current "disputed regions". When by some actions it happens to be reunited by Serbia - let's map it then accordingly. But while it isn't, is just pushing your own agenda and destroying any joy for mapping. I really don't like posting this, I want to avoid any political posturing these days, but please keep such disputes out of this. Map accordingly to the facts, not historical or "what feels right" basis. Please.
