It's hardly pedantry.
And there are plenty European LCCs that fly outside the EU (which isn't a 'nation'), intercontinentally too (Europe to North Africa and Turkey). There was even one doing London to South Africa until recently.
I'd probably say that the first transatlantic LCC was Freddie Laker's Skytrain, to be honest. You could also argue that Martinair, Condor and Corsair already provide transatlantic LCC services, too.
