The problem is that people don't fill in these fields on a consistent basis, or, for a native compiler, they pick one of the three to fill in and leave the others blank, but they make different choices. I suppose that the form could ask whether it's a native, cross, or Canadian cross, and then expose the extra fields, but that might be too painful and it doesn't fix the existing data.
