[Pkg-isocodes-devel] Ashamed by the name of our package

[Alastair McKinstry]

I'm  tempted, but can't think of an appropriate action right now.

It impacts our work a bit: without having personally read all the  
'standard', I've heard
OOXML uses Microsoft Country codes internally, etc. so as well as  
ISO-3166, etc. standards software
will now need to maintain a second list. Ditto for language codes, etc.
