Agreed. And even within a jurisdiction not everyone may be very familiar with domestic IDs. FinCEN just yesterday released a notice to financial institutions regarding the use of forged and legitimate US Passport Cards in connection with fraudulent or suspicious activity. The notice includes a litany of validity tests given that people just don't see these very often. I have a US Passport Card that I present as my photo ID when asked, because I don't want my address presented to just anyone who might have a valid need to ask for ID. Federal employees look at it and waive me on, but outside that I get a mix of "I've never seen this" (and every time it's still been accepted) and a lot of careful scanning of the card.
