[OSM-talk] National borders - mapnik

[Beau Gunderson]

Gotcha... I guess my question is this:

Does it matter if all of those US states don't have a "state border" way at
the top and there's just one long continuous national border? Or should
those borders be left the way they are, duplicated, the duplicates combined
and then a national border made from that, so that there are state borders
and the national border way next to (or on top of) each other?
