nice idea & try but
http://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/torres_strait/map.html
seems to disqualify it as a strictly coastal boundary
& another thing occurs to me
even if we should find any that supposedly do qualify
must the boundaries then literally follow a coastline
or might they merely follow the straight baselines along a coast
in view of things like this & the other bifurcations previously noted
what may at first have seemed like an elegantly simple list &
proposition just keeps ramifying into complexity & multiplicity
