recognize that XK being unofficial does make it

across the industry. I have submitted a draft motion
which addresses the situation in the same way that the
organization to which the UN passed responsibility for
the region has addressed it, and it will allow a CA to
issue a certificate in accordance with the laws of the
respective jurisdictions to which the CA and it's

It's problematic because you basically issue the certificates
actually for the relying parties. And those you don't know from
where they are. Now in such cases there are usually politics
involved that makes it even worse.<br>

There are other regions and entities that are in similar situations
and I'm not sure we should get into it...<br>

I would prefer to stay on the save side by using only approved ISO
codes. Those entities that are affected by it have to work towards
having it standardized, which I assume they do or can't exactly
because of the controversy that surround them usually.<br>
