Defining highest point is really not a simple task.
This describes the DK situation which involves history, emotions, definition,
opinion and new discoveries.

>Thank you for the list. Essentially it is a useful guide for the collector.
>However, not to my surprise, it contains the "usual" errors, that repeat
>itself from one list to the other, as follows:
>
>1) Chile: Cerro Aconcagua is on Argentinian ground; the Chilean border
runs
>a few miles to the west. The highest in Chile is Ojos del Salado.
>
>2)Luxemburg: Virtually all lists say Burgplatz is the highest. Burgplatz
>is
>certainly an impressive site, with a tower on top. However, about one km
>to
>the East there is a point called "Kneiff" that is 1 m higher - and totally
>unattractive, just on a field, unmarked.
>
>3)Monaco: Mount Agel is behind Monaco on French. The correct information
>would have been: Unnamed point on the (lower) slope of Mt. Agel, 140 m
>
>4)and of course Italy: As I said in my introductory posting, there is
>evidence that it is NOT the summit of Mont Blanc. The border is ill-defined
>in this area. Neither do we have a precise border description, nor markers
>on the icy ground. So at best we may face a border dispute. Nevertheless,
>most maps show the summit being entirely French. My precise question was:
>How high is the point where the border leaves the Bosses ridge just shortly
>below the summit?
