In the interest of not condoning license proliferation, at a process
level another option is to simply not consider non-reusable,
sub-national licenses for approval at all (it might be wise to include
national licenses in this bag as well, but that ship has already
sailed).  Perhaps these licenses are compliant and perhaps not, but we
simply wouldn't review them as a matter of procedure.

with lot's of other things!
