[Tagging] Add some tag to identify disputed borders ?

[Noémie Lehuby]

Hello,

There seems to be no actual consensus on the way to map disputed borders.
The statement from the Foundation 
<https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf> 
recommend to map the border that "best meets realities on the ground" 
but it's not what is actually in our database:
See for instance :
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/45.8481/18.8378
https://framapic.org/kIvnPSllBtnv/h1J8xti7US1F.gif
Both borders (according to Croatia vs according to Serbia) are mapped.

The same between Soudan and South Soudan: 
https://framapic.org/lcWCkmek7L7i/icYVenvHzPZs.gif

In some places, there are boundary=disputed or dispute=yes on the 
boundary ways, which is very convenient for a map-maker to know that 
there is a dispute on these border and that you may want to render it 
with a different style (or use another source).
Should this practice be generalized on all disputed borders or at least 
submitted as a proposal ?
