I still think names shouldn't be added to boundaries at all. Add it in a
note=* tag if you insist on some identification.

My point is not adding names to borderlines. The names are already
there.<br>
My point is that, if they are there, they should be coherent. They
are very useful for programs, listings and humans to identify a
border simply when they contain the name of the municipalities but
not when they contain Belgium — Germany.<br>
<br>
I'd like to know if everyone agrees that Burg-Reuland should replace
"Belgium".<br>
<br>
Those names are very useful for humans and for programs (listings
are dumb without).<br>
We were shown
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://observatoire.biodiversite.wallonie.be/carto/sites/carte.aspx">http://observatoire.biodiversite.wallonie.be/carto/sites/carte.aspx</a>?
some time ago. Quite interesting because it overlapped that map's
borderlines with ours.<br>
(they seem to have noticed our borders and to have removed theirs by
now)<br>
But, while the correspondence was very good in the places I know
best, it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING in some places, mostly signed Mr
Verdy. Also using rivers and highways.<br>
It is my intention to have a program check all that, to revise, and
organize the correction.<br>
But if you remove the names I'm using or if they're meaningless I'll
have to stop my project.<br>
<br>
