Recai, the question is not to have a simple fix, but to make sure things
are not broken.  I agree that your patch does the right thing (except
for UTF-8, I believe that it should not be applied then but did not make
tests), but it is too invasive.  Your initial patch looked much less
dangerous, it had to be extended to few other countries, and that's all.
