Now that the bug has been fixed, having a DTDcould probably help in
developing a package of utilities to actually *exploit* the iso-codes
data.

For instance, having an utility to map codes to any other fields such
as names (short and full for countries), or even codes to names in
whichever language, would help a lot. I already have applications for
this in d-i, actually, which would help in getting rid of the *.tab
files.

IMHO, finding someone with good XML (and possible gettext) skills to
develop this would help.
