Hmm. The phrasing of paragraph 1a) is interesting. Refers to the backstop "being superseded" by alternative arrangements. The deal already provides for the backstop being superseded – *in the future*

Looks like we might be heading for a Customs Union. Read my explainer here on what that would mean compared to the current deal.
