They seem to be talking about "IDN ccTLD's associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes". AFAIA, ISO-3166-1 is all ASCII characters, so how can non-ASCII be associated with it?

Do they mean some sort of translation into native languages of those ISO-3166-1 codes?

Does this limit IDN ccTLD's to 2 lcharacters? Considering you can form a full sentence in CJK with 2 characters, isn't that biased against languages that can't?

Cheers,
