Expanding on this, there are some large boundary relations which have all the coastline for an admin_level region and have over 10 000 members. These are frankly harmful and impossible to work with. When I redid the Alaska boundaries, I put them at 3 miles out I believe. Frankly, I find the idea of using the coastline as an admin boundary rather silly. This would mean that if you step out 1 foot into the water, you've left the state or country. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
