I agree with Bruce on this one. The whole idea of any restriction is to protect technology from getting into the wrong hands. If "they" already have that technology, then not much point in trying to restrict its export.

The actual "controlled export" items in the new lists were revised recently and such crystal oscillators no longer appear to be a controlled item. Makes sense, since the Russia and China and other countries have have made equivalent performance oscillators for years. Similarly rules on exporting some lasers have also been relaxed.
