Back in the days when i was at school typical German school maps knew at 
least four different types of national boundaries.  You can find the 
map key for them from the most common West German school atlas here:

Needless to say this mess had luckily vanished by the time i graduated.

And no - it would not make sense to represent this in OSM if that was 
still the situation today.  OpenStreetMap is not Wikipedia.
