YeahFrom what I've just read, the date line isn't something that's defined in and of itself. It's more like the countries choose which time zone they're in, and the borders of those time zones correspond to the edges of the countries, and then the IDL is defined by those borders.
Urgh, that's a horrible sentence.
Edit: you can see it in the picture on Wikipedia.
