That's a _great_ reference. Thanks. WRT nations banning flyovers above
Class-A airspace, the Treaty says:
"The Outer Space Treaty states that outer space, including the Moon
and other celestial
bodies is not subject to national appropriation by claim of
sovereignty, by means of use
or occupation, or by any other means."
So, a nation cannot ban overflights up there if they are a signator of the
Treaty.

NB: The use of "Outer Space" usually means beyond out galaxy, not typical
Earth orbits!
