This was discussed prior to the Brexit vote, a while ago when EurID
visited London.
A good position description was related on:
https://comlaude.com/news/possible-impacts-brexit-eu-domain-registrants

Brexiters (and please note I am saying "Brexiters", not Brits, as I
think that Brexiters are a small segment of Brits) need to come to the
understanding that when they keep on saying "out is out", they might be
referring to the state of a Cricket batsman who has been dismissed so
that he must cease batting, but continental people understand this as
"aus", "fuera", "en dehors", "fuori", "ud", "uit" etc.
In cricket, a batsman will be not out if he comes out to bat in an
innings and has not been dismissed by the end of the innings. One may
similarly describe a batsman as not out while the innings is still in
progress. So "out is out" may turn to being "not out" if, for example
the batsman hits the ball out for a Six.

ps. I don't expect continentals at the European Commission to understand
that.
