What do you _expect_ if the 831 + 832 problem showed up after
date-B ?  Or the hypothetical new 888 ?  Wait for ISO 3166-1
codes how long, forever ?  That's what the draft -04 says now.

Or just list 831 + 832 because they came before date-B, and in
the case of 833 we're absolutely sure that it's old.  Does it
block a possible future GG + JE ?  Does it also block a future
IM ?  Apparently that's what the draft -04 says.

We really should get this right, and IMHO we can get it right
today (2005-06-12 GMT).  And I really like to hear what you'd
_expect_ in these cases.

On the new (private) "IETF golden rules" list they have it as
the principle of the least surprise.  I know it as "is there a
high astonishment factor ?" plus "then don't implement it".

                            Bye, Frank
