Too bad Oyster cards can't be registered to overseas addresses. That
should be fixed.
Then again, IMO a greater priority (and one particularly relevant to
this thread) is adjusting the ticket machines to allow them to be used
with overseas credit cards that don't have chip-and-PIN.

The machines being adjusted so that they can be used without chip-and-pin would open up the network to fraudsters.
Mag stripes are very easy to hack if you have the correct (Commercially available) equipment. Chip and pin was brought in to combat this and the credit card companies see this as a vital anti-fraud measure. It has been enacted IIRC with the active agreement of all non-US companies.
Perhaps the one who is out of step should get into step?
