<div id="ygrps-yiv-709993370">wow & thanxx for both the q & a<br/>
<br/>
so  for purposes of giving the best possible names to the multinational points<br/>
do you agree it seems more propitious to ignore the united states version &<br/>
adopt instead the internationally agreed system<br/>
<br/>
& if so<br/>
or even if not<br/>
can anyone provide a link to this entire list<br/>
or better yet to a comparative table of both lists<br/>

&gt;the 2-letter codes from the FIPS 10-4 standard used in the US Government<br/>
&gt;(Federal Information Processing Standard). Unfortunately, the FIPS 10-4<br/>
&gt;codes to not all agree with the internationally-used ISO 3166-1 2-letter<br/>
&gt;codes (for example Algeria in FIPS 10-4 is AG while in ISO 3166 it&#39;s DZ;<br/>
&gt;Azerbaijan in FIPS is AJ while in ISO it&#39;s AZ, and so on).<br/>
