What's the history of the ABA region, has it remained stable and unaltered for the various record attempts?
I thought I'd read recently that the original ABA area was different than today's, though a (very) quick internet search did not reveal anything. I likely read it in one of the recent comment threads on the ABA blog. There is a parallel discussion going on now regarding the proposal to add Hawaii to the ABA area - one of the arguments against the proposal is the unwillingness to "invalidate" previous listing records by changing the boundaries.
Blog posts and discussion links if anyone is interested in further reading:

Perhaps I'm just less informed re: Eurasian listing, but it seems there is less precedent for a continent-wide listing region used for competition?
