I think that would not be verifiable.  Different political fractions 
often even have different opinions on the extent of their country.  OSM 
is not a place to record a spectrum of opinions on political goals and 
human beliefs, it is meant to record a single consistent model of the 
verifiably observable nature of reality.

If data users need additional data for their purposes they need to 
obtain it from other sources.
