The name of the game is you create it, you set your own rules.  The United
States Gov't was involved w/ the Internet before people thought about it
being more than just a US gov't system.

As far as the SOA, someone probably copied and pasted another SOA not
really knowing what they were doing (or copied pasted, saved, modified,
forgot to hit save).

Would love to get any info about the history
of the decision to make it US-only.

incidentally, why does the .gov SOA list usadotgov.net in its SOA?  The
web
site for the domain looks like it's copied from drjanicepostal.com.  Has
USGOV decided to open a new executive branch for podiatry?
