No problem.  I'm sure you won't mind some extra pairs of eyes to help 
maintain a high standard of quality.  (BTW, the new 2006-09-20 version 
of the Registry looks great.)

I know the Serbian government proposed RS (for "Republic of Serbia"), 
and I've heard alternatively that ISO (a) supports it or (b) opposes it 
because of their policy against using words like "Republic" to make the 
code element.  I guess we won't know for sure until the formal 
announcement.  In any case, I was just using it for illustration.
