So, people promoting this proposal just volunteered in building an
iso-codes-alternative package and interview representative people, or
organising polls in all 240 countries/areas/blah mentioned in
iso-3166, asking people how their country should be named....in
english.



Just irony, of course...I guess everyone sees how impossible this
is...and why choosing a standard is the only way to go.....and try to
find a compromise for sensitive issues.
