Another related issue -- maritime disputed borders. In the case of Crimea, the disputed border with Russia is over water, thus not showing clearly in many renderings, and over land with Ukraine, showing as a solid line - thus appearing to side with the Russian interpretation.
A while ago Paul Norman wrote osmborder tool to help with the disputed and maritime border rendering [1]. His tool mostly uses disputed=yes . The big problem with rendering was that multiple borders (city/county/state/country) were all overlapping one on top of the other, producing a solid line. Instead, when drawing there should always be just one line with the lowest admin level.
