The situation with Phillips vs PosiDrive screwheads is worse than you think - the Japanese also have 'JIS', which look very much like Phillips (they do not have the 45o ticks that PosiDrive do), but have a different pitch than Phillips. They do have a little 'dot' on the head to distinguish afaik. In the UK at least PosiDrive and Phillips are both common, and sets normally come with both. I've yet to acquire any JIS bits yet though... I think they are available, I've just not tried hard enough yet!
