      So it is not true that you cannot get non-USA reverse
      domains registered with NIC.

   You missed the point which was that so far NIC has not accepted
   non-connected nets under the in-addr.arpa domain.

worse yet -- when a non-connected net gets connected status, the NIC
doesn't insist on them getting an in-addr.arpa domain as a condition
of their connectedness.  they ask but don't enforce.  this explains
some current brokenness in Italy.
