I think this has at least also something to do with the way USA-style=20
sales tax works (as opposed to Europe-style VAT). When you buy a part in=20
the USA, you buy it as engineering part or as a production part, and I=20
don't think USA accounting systems have a way to pass parts between the=20
two. (This distinction doesn't exist with Europe-style VAT.)
