&gt; Question:<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Do the boundary markers mark the actual boundary or are they symbolic?<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Argument 1: On a newly received map 1:20000 the delu condominium border are shown to follow the shores of the rivers. <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Argument 2: On Wolfgang map of defrlu in msg 1170 (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://home.worldonline.dk/~jesniel/border/BorderPointemail.htm)">http://home.worldonline.dk/~jesniel/border/BorderPointemail.htm)</a><br/>
<br/>
&gt; the boundary marker is some distance from the shore, and the border follows the shore.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Question:<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Is binational tripoints only found in Luxembourg?<br/>

 </span></blockquote>jesper this punctoscopic breakthru flew right past me at the time because i was on the road but i just want to congratulate you on it again now that i have a chance to savor it in full & to comment only that your second bedelulu is obviously just a typo for dedelulu & therefore your full report was actually the definitive culmination of our long quest <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& to return to your question & enlarge upon it now that we can <br/>
<br/>
yes there are 2 binational tripoints in the lower esfr condo & so all these 4 examples of this odd category do of course share equally in the general weirdness that has brought us the 4 condos & 2 trilines in the first place<br/>
<br/>
 <br/>
<br/>
& now that we also have the eshoni trido in the gulf of fonseca to consider as a 5th case we may want to add to our folder of condo oddities the unique triple triline sequence that evidently binds this only known trisovereign area in the world together while connecting the dots of its 4 possibly weirdest multipoints in the world <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
presumably an engulfed pair of these punctological marvels occurs where the trido is met by international boundaries namely at esho eshoni & honi eshoni while an outer pair is believed to occur at the limits of the territorial seas where the trido abuts everyones land along the quadriline that runs between the everyonese quadrinational tripoints eseveshoni & evnieshoni  <br/>
<br/>
tho frankly i havent yet studied a proper map & am so far cribbing only from a mental topology that might easily be flawed <br/>
<br/>
so please bear with me on this until i can find the map <br/>
<br/>
or better yet dish it up if you can<br/>
