#2 The US faced the same problem with the Soviet Union, which was eventually clarified through treaties. Though on the surface they would seem to be meaningless, in reality there are a lot of things that don't matter strategically, but can prevent lethal misunderstandings. Some that come to mind:

1) Notification prior to detonation and missile tests, at least providing a window in which they will happen. Integral to this is some means to destruct off course test missiles, if not real ones.

2) Limitations on type and location of tests.

3) Nuclear accident protocols, if the other country may be impacted by downwind contamination.

4) Naval boundaries for vessels with nuclear weapons capabilities which are greater than for warships with conventional weapons.

5) Third nation arbitration of nuclear subject disagreements.
