I can't find a citation for this, but I recall from my studies that where the two disagree, demarcation takes precedence, even when it conflicts with treaty. This is great for OSM, because the demarcation should be verifiable on the ground (and sometimes from overhead imagery too). Therefore, importing boundaries from a government source may be a good start, the best method is to survey the situation. Mike > >
