The discussion here is about boundaries with the boundary=administrative tag, 
so it's about the administrative arrondissements here.

For electoral boundaries there is boundary=political as suggested by 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpolitical

I'm not aware of existing tags for judicial boundaries, but we can easily make 
one with boundary=judicial.
