A difference that makes no difference is no difference. If I live in the UK and a UK merchant refuses to sell to me because my credit card is billed to a US address, then whatever the intent, the reality is that it's a restriction based on the billing address of my credit card, not one based on my location.

*shrug* Just one more absurdity brought on by the insistence that the point of sale is somewhere other than the location of the seller.
