Should this not have more options seeing as 100 years is not uniform, e.g, anything created here in Australia before 1955 is PD. - π 01:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Just altering to my wording would require minimal other alteration, If you add qualifiers (date etc) you'd probably need to amend all the existing instances of it. (KISS) I am eating Toast& honeychat 01:31, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
