I can only think of cases where there is already an area of
territorial waters defined, but then some sort of an exception is
made for the sovereignty of an island, and the island gets less of an
area of terr. waters around it as it would when the general rule was
applied. So these cases (if existing) should be well described in
treaties, exactly because it is the result of an explicite exception
made.
It's a bit like Llivia staying Spanish, because it is a CITY and not
a village. And the treaty talks of villages....
