Objet : [x500standard] Country codes in X.520
I noticed that we in Reference clause of X.520 specifies ?ISO 3166 (all
parts), Codes for the representation of names of countries and their
subdivisions.?
Only part 1 is relevant.
Part 2 is ?Codes for the representation of names of countries and their
subdivisions -- Part 2: Country subdivision code?
Part 3 is ?Codes for the representation of names of countries and their
subdivisions -- Part 3: Code for formerly used names of countries?
We should therefore specify in the reference clause: ?ISO 3166-1:2006, Codes
for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions -- Part
1: Country codes?
The countryName attribute specifies: An attribute value for country name is
a string chosen from ISO 3166.
This is not clear: It should state: An attribute value for country name
shall be a string chosen from ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2
ISO 3166-1 defines two character code, three character codes, and tree
numeric codes. It appears that we are only using the two character codes.
Any comments before I generate a Defect Report?
