Allow multiple locales as a qualification test in Mechanical Turk

Update: this lack may have been addressed, see dmcc's answer for more information.
I think you're out of luck. From the API docs (emphasis added):
The Locale Qualification
...snip...
Note A Worker must meet all of a HIT's Qualification requirements to qualify for the HIT. This means you cannot specify more than one locale Qualification requirement, because a given Worker will only be able to match one of the requirements. There is no way to allow Workers of varying locales to qualify for a single HIT.
Problem
I would like to have a HIT that requires users to be in the U.S. or Canada. I am using the command line tools, but it seems that any qualifications are treated as being all required -- I want a Boolean or. Is this possible? For example, in the `.properties` file, I have: ``` # Worker_NumberHITsApproved > 100 qualification.1:00000000000000000040 qualification.comparator.1:GreaterThan qualification.value.1:100 # Worker_PercentAssignmentsApproved > 95% qualification.2:000000000000000000L0 qualification.comparator.2:GreaterThan qualification.value.2:95 # Worker_Locale qualification.3:00000000000000000071 qualification.comparator.3:EqualTo qualification.locale.3:US ``` All three of these qualifications are required. Suppose I want to require the first two and then a locale of either `US` or `CA`. Is there syntax for this?
