It depends on our rendering rules. This one seems fairly easy; if the
two authorities either side of a boundary dispute it, then we render
both boundaries, each with a dotted line, labelled e.g. "Boundary
(Indian assertion)" or "Boundary (Pakistani assertion)" (with better
words).
It's going to be far less likely to cause an edit war if both positions
can be represented. That's possible for a lot of things, but not really
for names.

I somehow suspect that we aren't going to get an edit war over things
this trivial.

What, about their presence or absence? Surely whether they are there or
not is a fairly clear fact. They can be marked "access=private" to
denote that there's no right of way.

How would these cause an edit war?
