UK != GB



Somewhere in another universe, someone noticed that many developers have assigned country code “UK” in LDAP:

$ ldapsearch -x c=uk | grep -c ^uid:
114


But, RFC 4519, §2.2 reads: “The 'c' ('countryName' in X.500) attribute type contains a two-letter ISO 3166 [ISO3166] country code.”

The two-letter ISO 3166 country code for United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is, somewhat confusingly, “GB”, not “UK”.
