One expected yu's southernmost component to have its own iso
code. tp had its iso code long before at least some people
thought perhaps it should; that is what lead me to take for
granted it that it did as well, alleviating the need for the
scheme to disambiguate the names and being consistent with
the neutral idea of deciding a "territory" is something with
an iso code (which I'm not exactly pushing but its the way
I was thinking (I actually in my own travels use the TCC
list which has 331 entries last time I checked, not counting
tp :-))
Since ps has its own iso code, one could neutrally count that
without making a political statement and promote it from
"imminent" to "verified" (assuming it is actually verified,
of course, but its borders at best seem ambiguous to some in
the first place I imagine)
Adding to the confusion is the possibility (likelyhood? again
without making a political statement) that in the near future
yu's southern component will in fact have its own iso code,
and yu as an iso code will go away (irrelevant but a real
possibility -- it did happen to su iirc) making the whole
twin tripoint as "unimminent" as iljops is "imminent" (or
something like that)
Confused? You won't be after this episode of _Soap_ :-)
