Well it's not *wrong* if you tag the admin_boundary on the way, rather

using the boundary tags,
Be careful of reading too much into the wiki, the wiki is not
definitive, and is often wrong and ignored. OSM is more anarchistic than
a wiki allows. :)
You can't begin to imagine how frustrating I find that, but that was
becoming horribly clear to me too.
You mentioned on the changeset that you wanted to render country
borders, but not in the sea. Many people don't like the maritime
borders, so you're not alone in that. There are other solutions, such as
re-ordering your rendering to draw sea on top of the land, or processing
the lines in postgis to remove the boundaries which aren't on the land
(ST_Intersection), or using Paul Norman's OSMBorder which tells you if
it's maritime or not.
Thanks for the pointer: my better half tells me she has now succeeded in
rendering the land border using OSMBorder.
