Valencian registration

People have written:

I'm unhappy about this statement as it contains an ambiguity.

It is true that ISO 3166-2 contains a code "VC" in the row for 
Valencia.  But the *ISO 3166-2 code* for Valencia is ES-V.

The corresponding columns are described in the ISO 3166-2 ReadMe 
file as follows:

Column 2 : ISO 3166-2 Code = the code assigned within ISO 3166-2 
to each country subdivision name.

In the case of Valencia, the above field contains the value "ES-V".

Column 7 : Regional Division = identifier of regional subdivision.

In the case of Valencia, the above field contains the value "VC".
