Not if I'm used to FIPS, I won't. There are too many digraphs with
different meanings in the two systems:
AG Antigua/Algeria
AU Australia/Austria
BG Bulgaria/Bangladesh
BH Bahrain/ Belize
BN Brunei/Benin
BY Belarus/BurundiAnd that's just the first two letters of the
alphabet! After a time of trying to keep ISO and FIPS in your head at
once, you can feel your brain begin to soften and flow.
