What would you put for a way that describes a border? Would you tag it
as a national border, and then use relations for the counties and
such, or would you just put attribution, uuid and source tags, and
then tag relations as below.

Can we create relations in sections? I'm thinking of a situation where
I would create a relation for the international border between the US
and Canada, as well as the provincial/state border between Alberta and
Montana. Would those relations render just like the ways currently?
