It would be prudent to assume that there is a possibility, no matter how
remote, that codes from the User Assigned range could get re-assigned one day.
Whoever made the current policy could well change it.*
So if your idea goes forward, I think there needs to be some text which
explains this. ie User Assigned 3166 codes *might* be OK for private use today;
that list of code points is subject to change even if that's highly unlikely;
plan accordingly just in case your private use two-letter code gets repurposed.

anchor their internal name space under .corp because it was impossible for that
TLD to ever exist in the public Internet. This was before ICANN was formed.
