That's the obsolete meaning I had in mind. Obsolete here, at least. Now it is a PC euphemism for "foreign".

>"we ship to international addresses" - you have a point - would probably have no real meaning, or be somewhere in the middle of the ocean in many cases :-)

There's one place I know of that has an international address - a tavern on Croatian-Slovenian border, where the bar is in one country and the kitchen in the other. The border seems to zig-zag between the tables.
