<div id="ygrps-yiv-1394871117">I&#39;ll have to take some time to look at the border markers by number <br/>
that you cites.  I just posted the whole area from that map, but it&#39;s <br/>
a big file 1.6MB or so.  You will note some crossings  of roads over <br/>
the tracks at the southern end of the map - and it makes me wonder <br/>
whether the bridges over tracks are German for the width of the tracks <br/>
or Belgian.  We&#39;ve questioned the roads under the tracks, but never <br/>
the questions as to whether a road that spans another country without <br/>
touching it makes the exclave on the other side into contiguous <br/>
territory or by the rules of these things, mean that the country that <br/>
built the bridge build over AND into and out of the other country?  <br/>
Maybe we shouldn&#39;t presume it is automatically the case that airspace <br/>
belongs to he who has the ground below.  Why do we seem to think that <br/>
such is always the case?  <br/>
