Hi, Graeme, and thanks for the question. As I understand it (from reading the wikipedia article and others), each country controls its territory up to the cease-fire line. The zone is demilitarized, yes, but still policed. And if you cross the line, you'll be stopped by someone from the other side. It's not like the Cyprus buffer zone, for instance, which is patrolled by the UN (and would be tagged controlled_by=UN).
So if my reading is correct, the Korean DMZ (two DMZs, actually) would not need a separate controlled_by tag. North Korea (code KP) as a whole (including its DMZ) would be claimed_by=KP;KR + controlled_by=KP. South Korea (code KR) as a whole (including its DMZ) would be claimed_by=KP;KR + controlled_by=KR.
