If yes, would you like to work out with me another ballot? I'd propose 
that for new and/or disputed territories where the country definition 
applies according to the guidelines but no official country code as been 
defined, the CA SHALL use the special XX country code. The CA MUST use 
the new country code when one has been defined by ISO and revoke/issue 
new certificates for those territories within one year.

This will allow the browser vendors to either use XX (which would happen 
automatically with the current implementations) or use the state or 
locality field instead for the UI at their discretion.

I'd say yes, this should be allowed under those circumstances, in case 
XX was used at the country code.

For a situation like Kosovo I'd propose C = XX, ST = Kosovo, L = Pristina

No objection, replying to both.
