Daneel, I think you're missing the point -- The STA is not offering the kilt passport as a legitimate diplomatic document -- it is a way to record the "life" of your kilt. In the US National Park Service, we have a "Passport" where folks can record their visits to the almost 400 National Parks in the states by means of "cancellation stamps" -- by no means is this a "real" passport, but a way to make a tanigable record of visits to our parks.

The Highland Games here in the states also have a similar activities for the wee kiddies where they get a "passport" and collect stamps from the various clan society tents represented at the games. I have seen this first hand and the kids love it!

The STA has a lot of kilt makers in its ranks -- this is a way to get their name out to those kilt makers customers and promote the society.

It's all in good fun, nothing more...
