if it isn't verifiable there's no question, but if it is verifiable because
the border or its description was published (not the case here according to

+1, I agree, although landuse isn't perfectly defined on a formal level to
exclude such tagging (e.g. by using vocabulary like "primary use of land",
which wouldn't make it wrong here).
