From what I can tell from the article, this is mostly going to be a problem for dual nationals born OUTSIDE the UK. So UK citizen by birth ought not to fear dual citizenship (hopefully).

Being the USC, I have always had this dream of becoming a dual UK citizen someday after I marry my fiance, so maybe I'll have to worry :D

I've read this article before, and I agree - it sounds like it's going to be a problem for naturalised British citizens, not natural-born ones who have since acquired citizenship elsewhere. Not that that makes it any better for the naturalised Brits who may be run into all sorts of undeserved problems, of course.

I remember this article was posted awhile ago. It would be interesting to read a follow-up. I think that ultimately, the system will look different than the one described here. I suspect that it is simply a matter of them not considering all the factors when it was first laid out, I think they will have to find a way to accommodate dual citizens. Color me optimistic eh.
