No, no, no. There is no point being an "architecture astronaut"[1] and 
making sure we've got the most perfect rendering system in the whole 
universe.

This is less about thinking and more about doing. Believe it or not, the 
first method that is able to solve the boundaries problem will win. No 
matter if it's a bot, a osm2pgsql patch, or an ugly SQL query on the 
mapnik stylesheet side of things.

And, personally, I think that a bot is the simplest, quickest way of 
achieving this.
