I feel like the common usages should actually make it into the displays. Like Kosovo. But also, I use XY for 'pretending to be a country' in test environments |
Update display names based on established usage: - XK: Kosovo (European Commission, IMF, SWIFT, CLDR) - XX: Unknown (WIPO, CABForum) - XZ: International Waters (UN/LOCODE) - ZZ: Unknown or Invalid Territory (Unicode CLDR)
