That's an excellent point, Andrew -- compliance isn't free. Unfortunately. (I mean, we have our own GDPR compliance we're dealing with in my company, and yeah, the money has to come from somewhere!

Such a distinction sounds complex for a registrar to make, and even more burdensome for a registrar to implement. Who could afford to do this?
It seems it'd be pretty trivial to do on the basis of the country code that's required in the postal address, no?

The costs of the EU privacy rules _are_ going to be passed on to consumers.

Conformance to the regulation imposes costs, and they're going to have to be recoverd somehow.
