* John Cowan | | This was posted to the Unicode mailing list by Peter Constable. The | meat of it is that when we do ISO 3166, we must use the *numeric* | keys as the primary names, because they are the only ones guaranteed | stable. That's very useful knowledge. It also creates a little problem, as the current ISO 3166 set uses the alphabetic codes. I guess this means that we'll have to use the numeric codes, but provide a mapping from the old alphabetic codes to the new numeric ones. That should be easily doable, I guess. | The original messages are attached to this one for the record. That was a little confusing. As far as I can tell ISO 3166 isn't mentioned in the emails you attached? -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > ISO SC34/WG3, OASIS GeoLang TC <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
