The history of UK vs. GB is explained in RFC 3071 - for unrelated
reasons I read it yesterday again. Obviously one country should
have one code, and as far as that that code is mnemonic it should
depend on the name of the country. In theory "united kingdom" can
be less persistent - in various countries that's not only a theory.
actually, there were other issues w/ the use of
country codes & the IETF in recent memory. A -MUCH-
more sensitive approach is to call these entities
"economies" :)

Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and
certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise).
