Regarding in which region an island lies, a good approach is probably to refer to the IHO (International Hydrographic Organisation) publication S-23 on the limits of oceans and seas.

If this was a new zone, I think I'd agree with you. But given that it's an existing zone, what is the benefit of moving the zone rather than leaving it alone? I'd want to see a compelling reason for the move, not just a "we've decided to use a new definition of 'Antarctica'". -- Clive D.W.
