				<title>Corrections in adm1ASCII</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ A few corrections in adminASCII file: (you told me that the ADMs cannot be changed from the UI, right ?)

GB.A4   Bath and North East Somerset    Bath and North East Somerset    6457408



And some additional non ASCII names :

LV.00   Jurmala Jurmala 459202

MA.00   El Aayoune      El Aayoune      2543878

MQ.00   Département de Martinique       Department of Martinique        3570311

MR.00   Disctrict de Nouakchott Nouakchott District de  2377449
MV.00   Maale   Maale   1337624


And I don't know what to do about this one, since there is no equivalent in ADM1.txt :
TJ.     Region of Republican Subordination      Region of Republican Subordination      6452615

Should we remove it ?

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Sami

I have fixed most problems. Thanks.

The Karotegin Province does exist :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region_of_Republican_Subordination
Though it does not seem to have a fips code. We could use the ISO code KR instead.

There is another issue not yet fixed. The ascii names for Chinese or other exotic scipts. The ascii field is automatically generated with a romanization algorithm. But this does not work for Chinese. Should we use null or empty values there?

				<description><![CDATA[ - Concerning the KR region : I think the ISO code is fine. (will you also add it to the adm1 file ? or just add it to the adm1ascii file)
- Concerning the ASCII equivalent : a null value is fine. I don't think people should use this field anyways. (lucene) text analyzers & stemmers are a better way to prepare the data for full text search.
