Hi Guys
I understand, but this is why I thought it would be a good idea to
include the basic countries, under Europe, Americas, Latin America,
Asia, the Orient etc..
than for any other countries needed to be added use the html5 's
dataList I think it is called. Then we could even have a data list to
remove countries from the list.
Do not let boss greed prevent you from prospering :)

Kind Regards

Undoubtedly it is fairly common, and we could present a good
argument in favor of it: most country selection controls are
faulty one way or another (e.g., missing new countries and
displaying countries that have ceased to exist, or wrong
names), and the quality might be improved, if they were
based on native controls in browsers, updated frequently.

I think the basic problem is that everyone's Boss has assumed dreams of
incremental world domination. This leads coders to include the missing and
stop when the Boss does not see anything missing. It is not a good way for
Consultancies to work. A Strategy Markup Language[1], Data Journalism[2],
Linked Data ID Server[3], or a Cloud have to work in a different way.
One thing which considerably simplifies the task is to assume unidirectional data flow
(either imports or exports). Also, the fine structure of imports in world trade is much
more complex than that of exports. The evidence is that "The Silk Road"
between Asia and Europe worked so well because the two local naming Authorities on either
end made the mid-route secure per force although for practical reasons did not bother
with interoperability.

If this all sounds like browser/format wars and Social Networking privacy ills,
it should, because the overarching logistics are the same. Pity, really, the
ability to launch a Crusade or summon up the Mongol Horde might lead to a much
more sane debate about data privacy.
I originally named the scheme "The Silk Road" ... a week before a drug ring of
the same name was busted. My bad luck :) The new name is simTLD (simulated Top Level
Domain) is straightforward - Authority by circularly polarized coordinates. This is IEEE
territory not W3C territory.

But I'm afraid the counterarguments are too strong.

I agree, this is way too ambitious for (every day use) HTML5 as it depends upon external
standards for missing items. The possible depends on your definition of "data
analytics" not on communication with markup languages.
