A border-way should contain admin_level=X where X is the highest number 
of the border it represents and an boundary=administrative Tag.

The whole border itself is represented by a relation with the correct Tags.

You usually will never have one borderline for a whole border because 
for example a border for a country represents also (only a part of it) 
the border for a state in this country.

I think that the edits made by the bot are correct.
