& not just because it led me to realize that what you are actually <br/>
presenting here isnt quite exactly worldn<br/>
for of course that could only be the north pole<br/>
but what i think you must mean is dry worldn<br/>
 <br/>
or perhaps just <br/>
dry n <br/>
puts it best for least<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but the real bp value added by my double take is that we can now <br/>
stake out a whole new extreme boundarypoint point<br/>
which i would call absolute bpn <br/>
or just plain unqualified <br/>
bpn<br/>
meaning the worlds northernmost boundary point of any kind<br/>
tho this might also be thought of as wet bpn too<br/>
to go along with both the dry bpn we already know & love<br/>
& with this new dry n point of yours from which the northernmost <br/>
maritime limits in the world may some day be projected<br/>
<br/>
& since that new extreme point should fall exactly 200 nautical <br/>
miles due north of your newfound islet here<br/>
or in other words at the northern extremity of the danish eez<br/>
wherever it is ultimately declared to fall<br/>
barring any continental shelf limits protruding anyplace north of it<br/>
which i dont know about & still have to check<br/>
unless someone can just answer that question for me flat out<br/>
but anyway<br/>
with only that one remaining loose end<br/>
& of course excluding renegade claims to the north pole<br/>
we can already give the latitude to beat as 200 minutes due <br/>
north of your new island<br/>
or in other words nlat 87d00m34s8 <br/>
by wlong 30d38m38s6<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& then of course the immediately next question once that one is <br/>
answered will become<br/>
& what about the rest of the absolute bp news tour<br/>
namely bpe & bpw & bps<br/>
<br/>
& thats when things will get a little weirder still<br/>
<br/>
for bpe & bpw turn out to be one & the same thing<br/>
namely the ensemble of all the many boundary points that fall <br/>
upon longitude 180<br/>
or in other words a huge hopeless & therefore forgettable mess<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& bps is similarly strange too <br/>
if not even stranger in the end<br/>
since the antarctic treaty apparently sets bps legally everywhere <br/>
at slat 60d00m00s<br/>
& that may be the dead end of it all in this case as well<br/>
tho here too i still have some homework to do before closing it <br/>
out along that line<br/>
since i still cant figure out whether article vi of the treaty expressly <br/>
limits or expressly extends the possibility of maritime claims <br/>
southward of slat 60 if projected from lands lying north of slat 60<br/>
<br/>
or does anyone already know the answer to that one for me too<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but anyway we do seem to gain at least one real bp ultima thule <br/>
of great distinction <br/>
with this recognition of bpn<br/>
even if the rest of the bp extremity news tour is a complete fiasco</div>
