Enforcing ISO-3166-1

[Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet]

=<philosophy>
=It's the job of the developer to attempt to anticipate common errors and
=correct them in an intuitive way.  Programs should be made to work for
=people, not people for their software.
=</philosophy>

  In this particular context, I agree, but with the footnote that the
  complete list of "alternate" input (and it's mapping to the "correct"
  entry) has to be documented, and, the program should provide feedback to
  the user about it's clever action and, probably, ask for confirmation.
  
  Wilfried.
