Indeed, (I checked the library,) ISO 3166 defines Alpha-2, Alpha-3, and Numeric-3 codes, and calls them all country codes, but doesn't call them Data Country Codes. It is ISO 8348, Addendum 2, that refers to the Numeric-3 codes as DCC values when it tries to define NSAP formats. There is some mumbling in 3166 about the numeric codes being assigned by the United Nations Statistical Office. Apart from that, the maintenance agency for 3166 is DIN. The preface and first couple of sections of 3166 make entertaining reading; it seems that almost every international body in the world has some connection with this document. /Bill
