You could introduce a standard offset of 0.1 nmi to the right of the track. That would avoid a probably very slight head-on collision risk introduced by incredibly precise navigation.
I'm not saying that it would necessarily be a plus for safety but it wouldn't hurt would it? Anyway not really arguing the point, just wanted to add that you don't need a 1nmi offset when you are worried about navigation being "too precise". It would obviously not be meant for safe separation. Rather it would reduce the statistic likelihood.
