In a similar vein, it'd be nice if colo facilities who require =20
government-issued ID could be taught that there is actually more than =20=
one government in the world, and that if they mean "US-federal-or-=20
state-government-issued" they should say so.
(They let me in eventually with a passport. But if they're going to =20
trust a foreign-issued passport as photo id, it's not really that =20
obvious to me why they wouldn't trust a foreign-issued driving =20
licence. It's not like they can really tell whether either of them =20
are forged.)
