nor would i disagree really<br/>
if you guys would just go the whole hog & throw in the protruding <br/>
continental shelves<br/>
<br/>
but i think the limits of actual sovereign territory<br/>
aka the territorial sea boundaries usually 12nm from baselines<br/>
have more territorial validity than the limits of sovereign rights<br/>
which are somewhat vaguer conceptually<br/>
& which extend not only 200nm offshore but often far beyond<br/>
& therefore i perceive the 12nm territorial lines as harder edged <br/>
as well as somewhat more predictable<br/>
& certainly more favorable from the greater everyonese viewpoint<br/>

By the way, Hawaii, I believe, is<br/>
