Wow, so much irony it alters the earth's magnetic field. Getting carried away with password requirements is quite annoying though. One site I've used had such ridiculous requirements it took me half an hour to come up with an acceptable password. For this reason I get the browser to remember it so make of that what you will.
Going back to the original topic a bit, the only issue I recall coming up has been concerns of being subject to the laws of where the data is stored. Customers have never been comfortable about having it overseas. If you're using an Australian located server, does that guarantee your data stays in Australia? What about backups? Do you get the option of saying your data can't be sent OS?
