As a temporary solution, I suggest that until a proper tagging scheme for
maritime borders are found, the following tagging is used for territorial
waters:

 boundary=administrative
 border_type=territorial_waters

Only where this is a border between two nations (that is, the territorial
waters meet and there is both a left:country and right:country) is
admin_level=2 added.

This is not intended to solve all problems with tagging of maritime borders,
just as a temporary way to tag these borders without causing bubbles around
all coastlines in all general purpose renderers.


Regards,

Gustav
