& now this one is via the usual email<br/>
thus improving communication possibilities from the field<br/>

apparently our options & features keep multiplying<br/>

&gt;&gt; prescotts 1987 map for example gives the impression there are<br/>
&gt;probably<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt; 3 philippine occupied patches<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt; 4 vietnam occupied patches<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt; 1 taiwan occupied patch<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt; & everything else unoccupied but with up to 6 claimants<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt; which i would therefore want to classify as omnisovereign<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;I wouldn&#39;t be so sure. This is a complicated bouillabaisse of<br/>
&gt;sovereignty and old-fashioned sea piracy. A lot of de facto, perhaps,<br/>
&gt;but not a lot of de jure. In this corner of the earth, every state (6<br/>
&gt;or so?) claims just about everything.<br/>

& lucky me too<br/>
since in this particular global clavoscopy  i am seeking & addressing only<br/>
the best consensus version of reality<br/>
<br/>
where there is little or no consensus  it is just a free for all<br/>
& hence  i think without taking too much liberty  everyones land<br/>
