They are only used in the names of the map files, not in domain addressing.

I wonder why the maps aren't issued with names from the *two*-letter set,
so that one doesn't need a lookup table to see which registered two-letter
domain has hosts in which three-letter file.  That makes it a four-letter
effort.
