I suggest that a system be created for federations to "offically" declare an alliance. Heres the benefits of system once implemented

1) Members of Allied Federations cannot attack eachother (Error: You cannot this empire, they are a member of an allied federation)
2) Leaders of Allied federations recieve PM`s (or it shows on their important events) when a federation declares War on an allie ( Dear Blank , Federation XX has declared war on your allies YY)

Alliances requests must be approved by the requestee (the fed recieving the request) federation leader within 48 hours (72 on slow)

A little tweaking to your idea Andover... I don`t think it`s necessary to forbid members of allied feds from attacking each other for the reasons bomocho stated. On all but RT servers, there aren`t many targets as it is. So usually feds agree to "try" and avoind attacking each other if there are other targets available. I think that a fed leader should be able to designate a fed an ally and it should show up somewhere on the fed info pages... And also it should give the name of the fed on the rankings/attack pages. Then if you choose to have no attacks between members it`s easier than having to load up each targets info page. I rarely do this, especially if I`m in need of borders.

you know i, as well as others have suggested this many times, but for now alliances are just informal pacts between feds, and their terms may differ,
like if you get lots of allies, how do you know is free game, or is an ally(when attacking)? with out wasting time looking at their profile.
of course a working alliance would allow attacking amougst eachother, becuase some races depend on attacking to survive, like marus.
but what alliances do now is attack the same enemy fed, which allows the allies to better gain control over the enemy due to the fact they will be able to over power them, and help keep them down for eachother to maintain control by staying above their powers, keeping them from building up and setting off uw`s etc. etc.

but i think such elements of the alliance should be able to be adjusted, such as #1, which would make it harder for races that cant explore to keep up their borders and live. #2 would be nice, kind of like all the federation stuff except extended to the allies as well, which will defeantly improve communication.

but what is with the time limit on the return of the request? other than making sure the fed is active enough to participate effectivly..
