 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-09-03):
 #
 # This file contains a table with the following columns:
-# 1.  ISO 3166 2-character country code.
+# 1.  ISO 3166-1:1997 2-character country code.  See: 
 # 2.  The usual English name for the country,
 #	chosen so that alphabetic sorting of subsets produces helpful lists.
+#	This is not the same as the English name in the ISO 3166 tables.
 #
-# For France in Europe, we follow common practice and use FR,
-# even though FX might be more technically correct.
+# The PS code below has been reserved for Palestine by the ISO;
+# however, the code is not yet officially assigned to Palestine.  Please see
+# <a href="ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/pub/doc/ISO/ISO-3166-background">
+# Cord Wischhoefer, Country Code Elements for Palestine (1996-07-24)
+# </a>.

 # Columns are separated by a single tab.
 # The table is sorted by country code.
