we can have several competing versions in our current data model, it is the
data consumers and other mappers that usually expect one "correct" version.
And we don't have nice tags to say "disputed boundary", at least they do
not seem to be documented:
http://taginfo.osm.org/tags/boundary=disputed#overview
Having more than one boundary for the "same" area might create confusion,
but could be resolved by adding appropriate names or better references
(e.g. "x territory, Swiss version", where the "Swiss version" part could be
expressed with a relation, e.g. role "claimed_by" and the country as a
member (might create circular references ;-) ).

cheers,
Martin
