It was already stated we're only talking about official claims by official governments. To my knowledge official Mexican government has no official claims on territory lost in XIXa. Victor and Yuri has stated, that having such an overlapping but representing official local position borders would help data users to adapt data to local needs: create Chinese map as Chinese want, create Ukraine map as most of the world wants etc. etc. And "ground truth" will not be enough to settle some peaceful border disputes or just agreement of joint rule. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
