I assume that in this category, you include diplomats and spies doing 
harm.  As I see it, preventing them from doing so violates a large part 
of their reason for existing.  If you are going to include code to 
prevent them from doing what they were made for, establish a setting 
(server or ruleset) that permits them to do harm regardless of borders.  
This could well make removing 'reason for war' impossible.  And in any 
case, they should not be prohibited from attempting to reach a foreign 
city to (possibly) establish an embassy.  Likewise, Caravans and Freight 
should not be prohibited from crossing borders, athough even this 
privilege can be abused.
