I donot think there is any ambiguity. The karman line @ 100 km is already defined

The problem is not everyone agrees that it's the correct line, there are several options. Even when there isn't much consequence to the distinction, people can't agree on it - see Blue Origin and New Shepherd.

When talking about international law, there's even less agreement. The mechanism for creating an international standard isn't particularly clear, nor are enough nations probably willing to agree for it to be feasible at all.
