To actually regulate it, it would be necessary to take steps to stop
work off hours.  For abstract activities like software development that
is close to impossible.  There's always a way to do more work than the
other guy by putting in more effort.  Anyway, what's with this
heavy-handed regulation?   Why is investing in children/family any more
valuable than investing in work?   It's a planet running out of natural
resources, after all.
