I too hope they sign. Yeah, there will be issues if they sign. It will be a bumpy road as they establish a prelature or some other juridical structure. There will be other issues to work out over time - (whether the FSSP and other Ecclesia Dei groups decide to come under the umbrella, whether Bishop Williamson will be given faculties, etc.) but these are better resolved inside the Church than outside.

And it will be nice to have more Tridentine Masses being offered in full communion with Rome. The spiritual graces will be wonderful.

I may even take in the occasional Tridentine Mass myself. (My family is Eastern Catholic).

whether Bishop Williamson will be given faculties

I can't imagine that the Vatican wants Williamson on board in any official capacity. But luckily for the Vatican, it doesn't seem like Williamson wants any part of a deal. He's been recently publishing internet missives that attack the whole project. If there's a deal, it wouldn't surprise me to see Williamson break away from the SSPX.
