Spot on.

And defining things per country leads to all sorts of problem. For example
mappers applying domestic rules when visiting foreign countries. Confusion
when debugging routing software. Next mappers will omit units of measurement
because they feel it it's implied for their country.

The solution is for editors to create defaults for these disputed access
restriction tags and allow users to change them before committing them to
the database.
