For what it is worth, the Geofabrik extract of Finland needs some 
special treatment for mkgmap processing. I carefully selected the tiles 
so that the coastline in the south-east corner of the map ends outside 
the tile boundary. In the northwest, it was impractical to do this, so I 
had to enable extend-sea-sectors for one tile, in order to close some 
coastline that is outside the Finnish border.

Before I moved to osm.pbf processing, I had a sed or Perl script that 
moved the endpoints of the coastline outside the then tile borders. That 
worked too, but I no longer want to use the XML, for example, by editing 
the osm.gz tiles from the splitter.
