Subject: Re: [BoundaryPoint] Fragments
> This is the subject of an unpublished paper of mine:
>
> A fragment is any discontinuous/discontiguous part of a territorial unit
> (county/ state/ country/ supranational entity.
>
> Thus Greece is a fragment of the EU, Alaska and Hawaii of the US and Santa
> Catalina of California. It can be an island or just a piece of territory
> separated because another is in the way (ie Alaska).
>
> Fragments can be subdivided into different classes:
> enclaves are one of those.
> An enclave is a piece of territory 100% surrounded by one other territory.
> Thus it has one neighbour and no coast.
> Alaska on the other hand has one neighbour and a coast
> Kaliningrad has 2 neighbours and a coast
> Nakhichevan (part of Azerbaijan) has 3 neighbours and no coast.

> I personally find no point in distinguishing enclave and exclavce at Catudal

> "French enclave" can mean a foreign thing in France or a French thing in
> someone else. Thus when tlaking about Llivia, it can be called a "French
> enclave", "Spanish enclave", "French exclave" and "Spanish exclave"which is
> clearly confusing, ambiguous and redundant.
> While I would like to use the terms for different things, redefining
> osmething like that is too tricky given how sloppy most people are with
> 'enclave' today.
> Further, the german word for enclave is exklave, so we may as well treat
> them as synonyms and be done with it.
