Submitting Code to ITAR for Export?

wowbagger asks: "I have the (mis)fortune to be working on a commercial product that will contain encryption/decryption capability. Since the product is targeted for export as well as use within the US, I get to file with the various TLAs showing my product isn't going to destroy the world. Joy. Does anybody else have experience in this? Yes, the ITAR regs aren't merely a case of 'locking the barn door after the horse has fled', but rather 'locking the barn door after the horse has fled, raised a family, evolved into sentience, developed technology, come back with flamethrowers, burned the barn to the ground, sown the lot with salt, and left for another star system'. But unfortunately I have to comply. So, does anybody else have any experience with this process?" A better place to ask this would be the cypherpunks or wasabisystems.com crypto mailing lists...

    If this is the case then WTF is it getting posted to slashdot? Wouldn't an email make more sense than letting us suboptimal Slashdotters give our uneducated guesses, beowulf jokes & goatse links?
