One error in one edition of one map... probably not notable enough to 
include.  A widely-repeated error that has propagated across multiple 
maps by multiple publishers, and found its way mistakenly into 
various reference sources as a result, might be a notable enough fact 
to warrant mention.  It's a judgment call.
