Seriously? I cross the US-Canada border all the time, and I'm a citizen of both countries, and I can still barely keep up with the constant, apparently random revocations niggly little details of local conventions at each crossing since last I crossed there. That people whose native language isn't English are totally flummoxed by the US rules is amply demonstrated to me every time I enter the US. Not to mention US citizens who cannot _believe_ that these rules apply to them.

I don't want to get into a (IMO fatuous) debate about which geopolitical arrangement is more troubling than others. I merely want to point out that it's just nonsense to use the current US conventions as an example of those obviously well understood.
