>dominant understanding is “citizen by law at birth and not later naturalized” rather than “born in the United States” //

OK, that didn't clarify much for me, I'll have a look myself. I'm guessing now that there are other ways to be a citizen when born abroad, like 'born to USA citizens and repatriated within 5 years' or somesuch.
