iso_3166_2.xml

The <geographical_region> element containing the US Armed Forces 
"states" is the _only_ container-element in the file which has no "type" 
attribute.    The DTD indicates that "type" attribute is indeed 
optional, but it seems logical to fill in the only missing type (perhaps 
with the type="US Armed Forces state").

    <geographical_region>
            <!-- The USPS Also recognizes the following Military"States" -->
            <!-- (Europe includes Africa, Middile East) -->
            <region
                    code="US-AE"    name="Armed Forces Europe" />
            <region
                    code="US-AA"    name="Armed Forces Americas" />
            <region
                    code="US-AP"    name="Armed Forces Pacific" />
    </geographical_region>


The comment block could use work too (mis-spelled "Middle East", 
mis-capitalization, etc.).

Should I submit this as a bug?
