Ah, I wasn't talking about the actual content of the treaty, but how it works day to day. Most treaties require compromise to exist in the first place, but I don't think it makes any sense to compromise where one term of the treaty is done by the word and another is done in the spirit of the clause. If you mean the way specific violations are dealt with, then I can see where you're coming from; maybe one side decides that passage from one border is okay, but for both realms to agree, they have to ban any nobles that break the treaty on the other border. (Just an example.)

I don't think there really is a way to compromise on going by the spirit of the treaty versus the word of it.
