There's two different concepts at play, that OSM does not currently tag well
when in conflict. There's national sovereignty, which is a political concept
which in large part depends on international recognition. And there's de facto
control, which could result from military actions. For most of the world, these
two are in sync. In Crimea, they are not, and there is a dispute.
There are so many varieties of disputed territories in the world, it's hard to
come up with a system that works for every single situation. And tagging
structures for disputes could certainly get complicated. However, I believe
that the OSM community could come up with something that works well enough for
Crimea, that it would be broadly agreed that the situation is represented
accurately.
That tagging may not work for every single dispute in the world, but the tags
could evolve as well as they are implemented in practice.
