Does that reference dated 1988 automatically pull in the latest
list of country codes?
Not sure about that. I've checked other RFCs (this is certainly not
the first one to reference country codes) and they don't contain
a better reference (i.e. 4676 uses it, but doesn't provide a
reference).

to what I am suggesting, if needed]
First of all you have to make up your mind if you really want to use
the 3166 list or the list of codes used in the DNS. There are a few
differences between the two lists. I presume you really want to
reference 3166.
I would say:
The <ISOcountryCode> element specifies the country using the alpha-2
country code from the ISO 3166-2:1988 list of countries and their
subdivisions.
If your intention was to reference the list of country codes as used
in DNS, come back and I can help with that as well. Also note that a
reference like this only reference the codes that actually are on the
3166-1 list. "EU" is not for example.
