Hi,
sorry for the delay, somehow this slipped through my attention. This is
reported as bug #445667 (added as CC).
I think that removing the alpha_2_code attribute from the four entries
is the best solution, because the information is included as the first
two letters in the alpha_4_code.
The latter is mandatory for ISO 3166-3, so I think that having an
optional attribute with duplicated information is not necessary.
I've committed a patch to SVN which removes those four attributes.
Regards,
Tobias
