concern me, and shouldn't concern us as a Forum, except that
ISO 3166 takes its lead from the UN so until the UN makes a
final decision, 3166 doesn't get updated. A UN decision on
this or anything else like it could take years (it's already
been 4) <b>or never come</b>. </span></div>

<br>
Exactly, that's the point. But lets look at the options the standard
nevertheless provides? Isn't there a code that would say "undefined"
or similar? OR leaving it out might be even the more correct way
because it's not something the CA can really confirm (because it
doesn't exist)?<br>

<br>
No, I'd have a problem with it, both as a CA and as a relying party.
If that's the case, than why should we follow a certain standard?
Lets abolish ISO country standards at all and do whatever a CA in a
particular jurisdiction feels is correct. Then we are on equal
footing.<br>
