Am I missing something in this "agreement."
1. Three nominees will be voted on instead of filibustered as the Democrats intended.
2. Anything else is still up in the air and may or may not be filibustered as was the case before the compromise.

Looks as if Frist may have had the votes to kill the filibuster so the compromisers decided to go ahead and vote. Am I wrong?

You missed a point:

2. Anything else is still up in the air and may or may not be filibustered as was the case before the compromise, with the guarantee from the Republican moderates that, if the Dems do decide to filibuster, the moderates will prevent the Republicans from using the nuclear option.

That's a HUGE concession...
