OK, I understand what you're trying to highlight, but don't see it as
relevant to this thread.
But anyway, the "boundary between two countries" can be distinguished as
they'll have two relations with boundary data whereas "the high seas"
boundary will only have one.

Unsure what you mean. Could you elaborate, Example?
Sure:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96104334
is an outer maritime boundary at 12 mile distance from the baseline
separating the territorial waters from the high seas.
OTOH
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54749533
is a maritime boundary between two countries.
You might say this difference is not of practical importance for data
users but there are for example many maps which generally do not show
the first type of boundary but which do show (at least partly) the
second type of boundary. Like this:

You can of course determine this difference from the spatial
relationship of the boundary relations.
