Hi,
ISO 3166 MA has designated "UK" as "exceptionally reserved". IANA has
permitted the use of codes ISO designates as "exceptionally reserved"
in ISO-3166 for quite some time (the yellow boxes in the table at
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso-3166-1_decoding_table)
.
Oh, and I'm not with IANA anymore and even if I was, we couldn't
really do anything to ccTLDs without them requesting it (but you know
that)...
Regards,
-drc

So what the heck is wrong with UK (as in the country code TLD of the
same name),
It's true that there is a discrepancy between ISO 3166 and the root of
the DNS. Do not worry, David Conrad, IANA, reads this list and he will
certainly resolve the discrepancy today by renaming the TLD ".uk" to
".gb".
