Hmm too bad I didn't notice all this before..:-(. I think this is kinda part of my "job" to see this as I also follow iso-codes quite closely. Unfortunately, I've really been pressured out in l10n work recently due to several high colume activities everywhere... Anyway, I think we have to live with your hack currently and fix this later. About iso_3166.tab file having non ASCII codes, well, the country names there are supposed to be the official country names in the ISO 3166 standard....which indeed has the A� for Aland Islands, yes... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
