Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Issue: two-letter or three-letter language codes?
Actually the ISO-3 is a three-letter abbreviation for countries (used for easely identify the country name), but ISO-2 is the *real* Code. I think we should stay with ISO-2, but we could provide a complete genericode code list with all ISO code and number columns for each country. The most important thing is we provide the most up-to-date version of it.
