very interesting as usual peter
& it looks like you may have turned up another condominial tripoint or 2 here
so i am curious to know
when you say
much of the water surface is condo like ile de la conference
does this mean only the surface & not the underlying column or bed
or does it mean such maritime territory generally & inclusively at all levels
also
are this wet one & the ile de la conference dry one the only 2 such condos
along the frsp frontier
or do you know of others
also
if you or anyone else can point to or illuminate any other condos anywhere
else in the world
please dont hesitate
as it would be nice to at least know about them all
m
i realize any roundup of them would not just be a cut & dry list
but would have to be riddled with asterisks & footnotes
since the terms of each agreement are likely to be not only unique but
quite idiosyncratic
yet all the more reason to think it would make a fascinating assemblage
