I really don't know, it's not something I'm too bothered about but it
will exclude people who don't meet the criteria yet might know something
about the problem even if they aren't UK resident or intend to visit, I
know in that case they'll most likely ignore the charter, it does
however mean that by imparting useful information some people may
technically be breaching the charter!  For example it would exclude
people working for US companies from answering questions about the UK
availability of their products.

I think quite a few will read it, paying any attention to it is another
thing ;-)
