the German border (here a part) https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/389808670
is mapped as country border, and is used by Germany and
Rhineland-Palatinate (level 4) on the German side (plus some ballast
relations like "land mass"), and it is also part of Canton Grevenmacher
(level 6) and the municipalities (level 8) on the Luxemburgish side
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/407796

The Luxembourg border is also a country border:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/363777663
And part of the German admin level 6 and 8 entities.

i.e. the river is only part of both countries, but not of their
subdivisions. Instead, it forms the condominium:

Thanks for that, both of you.  Umm, are my eyes playing up or is it mapped
as
county boundary?

[Tagging] Area country borders

[Paul Allen]

I just encountered this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw44wHG4KOc
explaining that the border between Germany and Luxembourg, along the
Moselle river, is not a line in the centre of the river but is the entire
width of the river.  If you're in a boat on the river, or on the bridge
crossing it, you're legally in two countries simultaneously.

Do we have a way of mapping this?  Should we have a way of mapping this? Or
should we just pretend the border is a line?
