My dear Signore,
     
     There is a lot of equipment out there that is expected to last 10, 15, 
     or more years.  Thus, it becomes a catastrophe to have to redesign 
     something that is not yet past its adolescence.  Any equipment that 
     "peddles" for 100K is not designed to become obsolete after 3 years.
     So this issue is one of concern to us.

Poor idea.  We no longer design ICT equipment for anyone geographic location on
the 
globe.  The equipment has to be "GLOBALLY" IEC-950 compliant.   Most of the
equipment you mention does not have a product life that exceeds three years.  By
that time, newer technology equipment takes over.  Hence, there should not be
any problem having compliant equipment
available and in place by the time UL1950/CSA950 kick in and you should be able
to peddle
such equipment world-wide.

Ciao,
