You have taken care of the wrong part of rendering. It is easy to render the territorial waters border, but difficult not to. I have checked some widely used online maps (didn't bother to go digging through my paper maps): Google Maps: Does not render international maritime borders Mapquest: Renders baseline/internal waters at high zoom levels, land borders only at low zoom levels. Live Maps: Renders only land borders Yahoo Maps: Renders only land borders and (at low zoom levels) internal waters border between two countries Map24.com: Internal waters and land borders? Basically, it seems that most map makers prefer to treat maritime borders and land borders differently. I think taggin in OSM should make this well established practice easy, instead of making it easy to render the territorial waters and land borders the same. - Gustav
