[Tagging] Related: Antarctic territories

[Fernando Trebien]

For the sake of simplicity, you're right. To represent these territories
using regions, we'd need tags that would essentially duplicate the meaning
of existing ones.

So I see 2 reasonably equivalent solutions at the moment that would affect
the roles of boundary relations: "dejure" and "defacto" roles for boundary
ways, or "claimed" and "disputed" roles (or any similar word) for an area
(possibly also relation). I can see pros and cons in both approaches, both
for manual mapping and for data consumption in apps (particularly in the
renderer).
