    The fist time this appeared on this list I just made a joke on how
    "Atlanta, GA" should be interpreted, under the spirit of *real-world*
    internationalization, as "Atlanta, Gabon" (cf. ISO 3166).

    This second time, still with "uninternationalized" location, further
    implies though that, for some entities, internationalization is nothing
    but a buzz word, with scarce impact in its (parochial?) views and
    practices.
