Agree, a separate relation that outlines a country's border from that
country's perspective would be much easier to use (with an appropriate tag
- e.g. POV=countrycode).  Note that this also applies to sub-country admin
levels too, e.g. Crimea might have a different administrative division
according to UK and RU, which in some cases would be the same as
on-the-ground-truth.
