There are many other places where our map is not accurate to te rules we decide, and where we can actually do something about it ;-) I think we should keep the issue in mind during further API design work, and try to build mechanisms that help us cope with situations like these, but I don't see the urgency either. I still like my idea of not showing Cyprus at all, but if that's not feasible then let us just ignore the issue for the time being. Any mechanism that forces us, as a community, to take sides (i.e. decide what the "correct" tagging should be) would set a dangerous precedent and require a well-crafted decision-making process in the community. (For example: do I, never having set foot on Cyprus, have a say in the issue?) I don't think we are up to that, yet, and we should certainly not rush out some rules that haunt us later. If the people of Cyprus haven't managed to produce good mapping because of unsetteled political issues, then that's the reality and why should that reality not be visible in our maps...? We're not above politics (sadly).
