Unfortunately IANA introduced EU as a new exception.
ICANN introduced the top-level domain for EU by request of appropriate

IANA has permitted the use of codes ISO designates as

IANA forgot to update RFC 1591, and ICANN forgot to update
IDP-1, or are you talking about something else ?
Neither of those documents needs to be updated since IANA and ICANN
are still using ISO-3166. If you look on the table at the URL I
provided for decoding ISO-3166-1, you'll see "exceptionally reserved"
means "Code element may be used but restrictions may apply". None of
the restrictions on those codes have been violated by their use as TLDs.
