In my opinion, the techniques are taught very different.
WTA teaches many of the blocks coming from the hip
WTF based sets most blocks similar to ITF but most kicks are "snapping" not many "thrusting" kicks
ITF based teaches the thrusting kicks
Again, Just my Opinion

I'm sorry if what I was saying was confusing. I am by no means saying that they are all absolutely identical. Rather, the differences are all very small in comparison to the differences between Tae Kwon Do and, say, Sambo. I would think (though I am not sure) that you would be hard pressed to find a Dan rank in any of the sub-styles of Tae Kwon Do who would not be able to pick up all the additional skills in a different sub-set in less than a few hours.
