Simon, Thanks - That helps. I didn't think of looking at the Foundations wiki. While not a process it does give a better understanding of how OSM handles border disputes. For those who didn't read the document, this is the relevant section: Borders and boundaries National borders are particularly sensitive. Currently, we record one set that, in OpenStreetMap contributor opinion, is most widely internationally recognised and best meets realities on the ground, generally meaning physical control. In areas without clearly defined borders, the line is approximate. Our database structure enables mapmakers to easily ignore this set and substitute another more appropriate to your needs. In the future, we may look at supporting alternative sets directly. Should this section be restated in the OSM wiki under boundaries? -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
