I don't see that as a problem -- where there are moral rights in 
Canada, they run for the same term as the economic rights. Remember, 
this flowchart is not supposed to help figure out the *scope* of 
copyright in a work, just the *term*.

Yes, this is part of that effort, and I think the Canadian flowchart 
is the only one published there so far. I cross posted this 
collaboration request to the pd-calculators list as well.

Cheers,
