				<title>some requests</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

we will be doing some i18n project based on geonames.org dataset and i have some requests that hopefully could be addressed in the futur...

- update countries (Serbia and Montenegro)
- phone number format for countries
- phone number regex for countries
- language types for country mappings:

for example:

official
national
regional
de facto
de jure
legislative
business

- admin area level used for post abbriviations:

germany, switzerland, usa = level 1
italy and uk = level 2

- an admin level names and country mappings

for example:

AREA = (
    ('a', _('Another')),
    ('i', _('Island')),
    ('ar', _('Arrondissement')),
    ('at', _('Atoll')),
    ('ai', _('Autonomous island')),
    ('ca', _('Canton')),
    ('cm', _('Commune')),
    ('co', _('County')),
    ('dp', _('Department')),
    ('de', _('Dependency')),
    ('dt', _('District')),
    ('dv', _('Division')),
    ('em', _('Emirate')),
    ('gv', _('Governorate')),
    ('ic', _('Island council')),
    ('ig', _('Island group')),
    ('ir', _('Island region')),
    ('kd', _('Kingdom')),
    ('mu', _('Municipality')),
    ('pa', _('Parish')),
    ('pf', _('Prefecture')),
    ('pr', _('Province')),
    ('rg', _('Region')),
    ('rp', _('Republic')),
    ('sh', _('Sheading')),
    ('st', _('State')),
    ('sd', _('Subdivision')),
    ('sj', _('Subject')),
    ('ty', _('Territory')),
)

- timezones and country mappings
- currency and country mappings... i think some countries have an official and some unofficial currencies
- symbol and number of decimal places used in a currency
- calendar used in a country

we have most of the data here and could easily enter it if you woul provide a interface

cheers

Pat
