I can see now why Austria favors the condominium philosophy - it would
provide them a greater share of the lake.

But we still don't know which "philosophy" prevailed during the Anschluss
period. Has the late "Fuehrer" missed a point here? Had he adopted the
condominium philosophy in time he would have caused trouble to the Swiss,
which he was always looking for.

And what a pity that Liechtenstein does not make it to the shores of Lake
Constance! We would have a fourth party to gamble with.

It appears that regulating borders is more difficult when it faces fluid
materia. On solid ground we seem to have an easier play. An inverse
proportionality to the higher value that land has over water.
