OK, forget CITIZEN then. I forget that gets complicated in a hurry.
I've forgotten than many middle eastern countries offer this (Isreal
and Turkey come to mind) and it isn't as relevant as RESIDENT.
The idea for RESIDENT would be that it must be in
{us,ca}
to build RSA patented stuff via RSAREF.
If other patented or semi-patented stuff came along, then we could
test to see if it was jp, and not build the YoShiHaNya ONeCo data
compression modules for that country, but allow building them
elsewhere.
It would be much more flexible than the rigid and US Centric
USA_RESIDENT.
