Thats the next question 
It may well do in this case, but many countries have a slight variation on the theme, which usually doesn't cause too many problems. |
Owen, seeing as it is an Airservices document it most likely doesn't conform with anything.
What I have found though is that this also used to happen at Bankstown. However due to incorrect readbacks they haven't used this phrase for quite some time due to the number of runway incursions.
Oh and just to agree with what you and Mick have said I too have heard controllers use the identifiers for international flights.
