Treaty author delimitation without "and" in Chicago
Hi all,
I've noticed a small issue in Chicago 18 (though it also seems to be present in 17):
Per CMOS 14.191, treaty signatories should be delimited using an en-dash (or a regular dash? it's inconsistent) without the use of "and", like so:
Yet upon rendering, the citations nevertheless include "and":

(NB: Chicago diverges from the Bluebook here, which only uses signatory names for bilateral treaties to which the U.S. is party IIRC)1. Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water, U.K.-U.S.-U.S.S.R., Aug. 5, 1963, 14 U.S.T. 1313.
The Zotero style attempts this via the absence of2. Agreement Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy, U.S.–S. Kor., Feb. 3, 1956, T.I.A.S. No. 3490.

element:<!-- 6.1. Legal author -->

and="text"
is set within the style
element, is there any actual way to fix this, or can it just be chalked up to a CSL issue? The only alternatives I can think of necessitate excessive if
usage; yes, I know the obvious workaround would be to just put the dashed parties in a single author field, but where's the fun in that?
and
everywhere manually, this example still won't render correctly, as the et al. threshold will still be too low. Unless someone can think of a way to override this for legal types that I have missed?I had encoded this example in a single field:
