another footnote i would like to offer to grants recent world class boundary
& multipoint survey of both de jure & de facto reality
just to complete at least the de facto nationality of all the land areas in
the world
& also to at least enable a complete projection of at least de facto
boundaries & tripoints everywhere in the world
is
http://www.middlebury.edu/SouthChinaSea/macand/
a map of the 45 spratly occupations & 6 national claims as of 1996 published
in 2000
along with detailed info on the 95 most major reefs & islets of the group

envisioning or drawing all the lines & dots between & around about them all
mightnt be so easy
& such projections will probably remain as shifty as the sands & waters
themselves
but i do believe that with these additional data the entire global de facto
picture is now at least potentially & theoretically complete
