The maritime borders clearly are administrative and probably are
admin_level 2. However, on the wiki Iceland has defined the EEZ to be
admin_level 1. I think it should be possible to distinguish country
borders from maritime borders, so IMO these borders should have an
additional border_type tag (or something similar) and we should clearly
define the admin_level of these borders.

PS The incorrect tagged country border of the Netherlands mentioned by
Gustav is the province border (1 km of the coast). Unfortunately the
official publication of the Dutch maritime borders is licensed.

Some land borders, e.g. between Ireland and the UK are like that. No
border control.
I would suggest that maritime borders are not tagged the same way as land
borders. Should we have a new tag for maritime borders? Stop tagging them?
Ignore the problem?
I think maritime borders should be in OSM. I can't really think why they
should be tagged differently. They are a boundary=adminitrative, and
they do have an admin_level of 2 ....
