Hardly 'conclusively'. <g>

Re: the Constitution of the United States of America, and the laws that were passed to clarify it's terms and meaning (& the Federal Court decisions which were rendered to interpret the law).

a) Not ever an 'incorporated area' of the United States of America (albeit under firm military control, a la Iraq or GITMO)...

b) numerous examples where federal authorities actually *deported* individuals (who had been born in the Zone) from the Zone to other countries...

c) So much public confusion about whether individuals so foreign-born could qualify to be President (although the Courts and Congress believed at the time they they could not be) that Congress was moved to enact new law to change the meaning of 'natural born'... but the law was passed about *one year too late* to impact John McCain's legal status, as he had already been born.
