*This* is a political statement..:-)
On this topic, I have started writing a formal mail to the ISO-3166
secretary asking about an official statement from ISO-3166 about their
use of the controversial wording for TW.
I proposed this mail to Martin Michlmayr as it is written in the name
of the Debian Project, not in my own name (I don't expect an answer if
I just send a mail as an individual).
Martin is of course busy, so I don't expect an answer from him until
I'm back from holidays. However, I know he's aware that this subject
is of some importance so I'm confident he will help me writing this.
Getting an official answer from ISO-3166 would at least help us
in deciding whether this standard body is or isn't politically
independent.
