obviously there isn’t a correct position for a continent node that cannot be 
modified without changing it (similar to other place nodes which represent big 
objects, e.g. countries, states, regions, bays, etc.), but is this a real 
problem? Have there been edit wars about the positions of continent nodes in 
the past 14 years? 

Generally, kontinents are either delimited by the sea (e.g. australia) or are 
similar to other geographic regions (fuzzy, not clearly defined on a micro 
level). E.g. the border between Asia and Europe, or between the Americas.


Cheers,
