This edit will be entirely contained within a relation and will not affect any rendering unless the downstream user chooses to use it. <br><br>Here is an example in Israel that allows for the Palestinian view of certain province boundaries to be a lower level. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/13658967" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/13658967</a><br><br>I understand that disputes are a very sensitive subject and the intent is not to provide legitimacy for any particular claim, rather just document and model all of them.<br><br>For some additional information check out our organized editing wiki or just reply and I’ll get back to you.<br></div><div><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Snap" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Snap</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>-Jeff</div></div>
