    Oops! You're right, that's an error when rewriting part of the
    sentence. I don't know why I left 646 sleep through my message,
    and yes I meant 3166 for country codes.

    But I doubt Corea will ever want a new country code to replace "kr",
    given that "cr" is already assigned and "kr" is already very well
    known and much used (unless there's a Latin transliteration of their
    Hangul country name; I don't don't know).

    But you may see one day their national airways renamed
    "Corean Airlines", or its main standard body renamed "CSC"...
