Eliminating bilingual descriptions for the language,
country (and UN region) codes leaves implementors
in a quandary.

Huh? These are language TAGS. If, for some reason, some implementor
thought it made sense to display one of these in a localized form (rather
than just using them to determine what locale, etc. should be used in
rendering some text) there's no requirement that the English-language
country names that appear in the registration be used. Indeed, a UI
could just as well draw a map as display a name. But again, that's not
what language tags are for.
