Hi Stephen,

Could you throw more light on this? Country code data is already 
encapsulated, and there is no direct reference to map accessing those data.
If you have some suggestions on improving it, kindly share.

There has been lot of discussion regarding "ISO" and "Iso". CCC has 
suggested use of "IsoCountryCode" for enum name which I proposed to be 
"ISOCountrycode" .

I have tried to keep constants as "ISO", variables as "iso" as per with 
JDK naming conventions. But Locale class has methods names with  "ISO", 
So I think I will update all internal method names to have "ISO".

Thanks,
Rachna
