"international recognition" allows to eliminate for example Sealand (and
othermicronation nonsense).
It also allows to skip on the ground survey in cases where everybody agrees
where the border are.
It also allows to map borders in areas without physical control (due to lack of
inhabitants oranything else).

>> Ok. So do I understand OSMF position is this:

>> 2. International boundaries DO sometimes overlap.
>> 3. OSMF is aware that overlapping boundaries would have satisfied

>> 4. Precedence is taken by "most widely internationally recognised

>>
>> Is this correct?
