Hi, no problem :-). As a german I would say "Paper is patient". Some institutions are dreaming of ID-Cards and write documents which make them look as if those cards exist already.
But anyway. The term "National IDcards" might be extended maybe to qualified cards (which could be accepted by national bodies). I am living in Malta but I am german. So basically we have in Germany banking (ATM) cards like the SECCOS based SparkassenCard. Furthermore soon the health insurances will roll out new health insurance cards which can hold a qualified, an authentication and an encryption certificate. Governments could start accepting such cards and would ease the pressure of issuing their own "National IDcards".
