grant i am glad you answered this so well & without even setting off another clave definition riot & i agree with you about your & our primary definition of boundary points tho i would add that these can also be & frequently are understood here as any points situated on a boundary insofar as we are often discussing or showing pictures for example of any places on boundaries or of cardinal extremities or boundary turn points or monumented or unmonumented boundary points of other sorts than just the multipoints & also since we often try to see just how far we can take things & whether we can even find the boundary points where things end or meet etc etc but since the entities verna & you mentioned are enclaves then they are of course also surrounded by boundaries & thus by boundary points too
