<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Sea, when it can be <br/>
&gt; considered &quot;land&quot; at all, would be &quot;everyones land&quot;<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well the leading edge of everyones land <br/>
as it emanates from its antarctic base toward the civilized world <br/>
falls at least 3 & typically 12 nautical miles out to sea <br/>
from the coastal baselines of the countries<br/>
or in other worlds <br/>
exactly where the national maritime territorial claims end<br/>
<br/>
so not only could the sea be considered & acknowledged<br/>
but at the same time the actual legal boundaries too<br/>
rather than only the convenient coastal edges <br/>
of the claves or nonclaves or whatever you want to call them<br/>
<br/>
but of course this would actually afford more of a topological than <br/>
any practical or functional view<br/>
<br/>
for including everyones land in the global mosaic<br/>
rather than just leaving the usual blank nonnational space for it<br/>
means everything gets abutted or surrounded by something<br/>
& this represents a great simplification for multipointing <br/>
& for topological clavology<br/>
but probably a real stumbling block for all the other clavologies<br/>
<br/>
so i think the greatest part of the difficulty in coming to any <br/>
consensus about nomenclature is that we all seem to be <br/>
entertaining the claves from a variety of interests & points of view<br/>
<br/>
but the fellowship is great & the try is valiant <br/>
no matter what the outcome</div>
