On the technical side, Ram, may we assume that you will have plugged those 
SLDs just as you have for those specified in Appendices H and X?  If such 
is done, and if registrars have a DomainCheck built into their registration 
systems, they will not need to take any extra steps to avoid uploading 
ISO-3166 English names of countries.  Is that a correct assumption?
