Hi Misty77 Yes, I suppose it's a sort of tentative agreement. I might describe it as an agreement on the main points or general idea, but the details have not yet been discussed and agreed on.

I don't think of it as "tentative". To me, it's more of a fairly permanent agreement about the general goal with continued disagreement about the means for reaching the goal, i.e., squabbling about the details.

Good. Let's starting squabbling about the details now!
Or let's not, and say we did.

CalifJimOr let's not, and say we did.They say the devil's in the detail, so that might be the safer option.
