Dan, OpenStreetMap's strength is that volunteers can verify the data by observing it on the ground. Boundaries imported from external sources, especially those in the water, are essentially "dead data" that cannot be improved upon unless the external data source changes the data. That sort of data isn't very useful to OSM and it's not my opinion that it shouldn't be in OSM.
Like I said on IRC, I'm happy to help build a map that uses this shape on top of OSM data for your own map if that's what you're interested in.
