So... you have given me "process reasons" why deciding when a country
ID is or isn't warranted is not able to be expanded to meet future
needs.
I'm not a programmer, and I don't think like one, and I don't live
and work in an environment where this kind of vocabulary use makes
sense or where anyone uses it this way. (I don't know what a
heuristic is, either.)
Sorry, Peter, but you've lost me.

May well be needed? If I understand the RFC, it requires some level
of proof that the entity exists, and I wasn't aware that we were
supposed to be registering aliases of tags for entities.
