LGTM.

For the JIRA issue, please fix the last paragraph in the problem text:

Commentary now also uses characters from the set -''""•≤ as this
     can be useful and should work with current applications. This
     also affects data in iso3166.tab and zone1970.tab, which now
     contain strings like "Côte d'Ivoire" instead of "Côte d'Ivoire".

which seems to have converted the non-ASCII quotes to ASCII equivalents, which made the paragraph not making sense. FWIW, the original was:

Commentary now also uses characters from the set –‘’“”•≤ as this
     can be useful and should work with current applications.  This
     also affects data in iso3166.tab and zone1970.tab, which now
     contain strings like “Côte d’Ivoire” instead of “Côte d'Ivoire”

It's interesting that they started using non-ASCII quotes in comments, which is different from our policy, but we need to live with it as it is the upstream change
