Is your domain a .com, and registered at a U.S. based registrar? Domains are considered an asset FYI. Are you using U.S. based web hosting? What about GMAIL. That is U.S. based, and you are using it for business purposes.
You can split hairs all day long on this, and while I can partially see your point of view, the affiliate program simply wants to make sure they have their ducks in a row, and everything accounted for in regards to an audit and the Patriot Act/banking laws crap. The "proper paperwork" point of view from the international affiliate doesn't matter to them. Only the IRS does.
It has been discussed in many similar threads on GFY over the years. The rest of your argument is little more than semantics where some international affiliates do not want to provide these docs.
No more, no less.
