Greetings
I just noticed the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia is marked
as just off the Queensland coast on the slippy map. I wish!
It's at zoom levels 2 to 6:

There's a few other weird coastline renderings in that view that someone
might want to investigate, too.
I poked around in the data a bit to see if something looked amiss. It's
probably more efficient if someone who knows what they are looking for
checks it out.
There's also "Coral Sea Islands" at levels 5 and 6. These are a
territory of Australia (correctly placed, it seems) that almost no-one
knows about. Perhaps they have been given too high an administrative
level? Then again, being unknown shouldn't count against them. There's
potential to confuse some users. I certainly did a double-take.
Cheers
