Re: first known map of hnnisv tridominium & its trilines & tripoint

thanx
i am much obliged as well as much inclined to agree
& not just because i like the idea of making a fresh
triarea discovery 
& thus getting 2 tridominia with associated trilines &
tripoints for the price of 1
but just because it seems right

but the 2 things i didnt understand about the legal
text below
which made me pause before coming to any firm
conclusions
were
why the waters at the central portion of the closing
line appear to be specially distinguished from the
waters outside the belt of exclusive seas generally
&
why the curious apparent or actual reduplication in
the text

& i can dismiss the latter of these puzzles as being
the probable result of a clerical error
since this version of the text at paragraph 432 on pdf
page 265 here is not in fact riddled with this problem
http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/icases/ish/ish_ijudgments/ish_ijudgment_19920911.pdf
but it is hard to understand what the need or basis
for the former conundrum might be

but maybe you can elucidate this too


& also
to further advance the tridominioscopy 
i have just noticed in section 3 of the continuation
of paragraph 432 of the judgment 
on the pdf page following the one above 
that there is added
attached to the tridominial waters inside the central
portion of the gulf closing line a zone of tridominial
territorial seas outside of it
presumably extending 12 nautical miles seaward 
since all 3 of these countries can & do claim at least
that much territorial sea in the outer sea


so
to sum up
2 tridominal triareas do appear to exist
one of them simple & one compound

& if so
then the simple or inner one is contiguous to all 3
exclusively sovereign territories 
& is thus ringed by a chain of 3 trilines & 3
tripoints
of which all but the hnnisvhnni tripoint are at least
partly shown in colored dots on the pdf map i began
with
hopefully still linked below

& the outer tridominial area
comprising the mentioned & depicted internal
tridominial waters within the gulf plus a roughly
rectangular 12nm extension from these of tridominial
territorial seas outside the gulf
is contiguous only with the exclusive sovereign
territories of ni & sv
& is a true exclave of hn as previously observed 
& thus has only the 2 trilines & their single tripoint
mentioned below 
if one doesnt count its seaward interface with
everyones water & its adjoining tripoints with
everyones water & ni & sv respectively

but counting all of these
& why shouldnt we whether in the interests of full
disclosure
or because we are here in everyones land ourselves at
bp
then it is now looking like a total of 2 tridominial
triareas ringed by a total of 6 tridominial trilines &
6 tridominial tripoints
