The limit of language codes

[Marion Gunn]

When construction work on ISO 3166 first began, no thought was given  
to the matching of territories to languages for tagging purposes, but  
the development of the web has since given us the more suitable ISO  
code uk (as used in UK e-mail addresses) it makes more sense to fix  
that old (gb) error by matching the correct, newer (uk) code to such  
languages codes as it happens to fit.
