Can OSI specify that public domain is open source?

This is very USA specific, though. Are you willing to put similar
paragraphs up for a few dozen other countries? ☺

Maybe it’s just simpler to state that something like Public Domain
is a concept limited to a single country, or a set of countries,
and therefore not OSD compliant. (Plus the CC0 link, which is good.)
