I fully agree. I belived "ISO Country Code" was there
to identify where the LIR provide services. Not where
the users of the addresses are.

I have seen cases where we have used address space from 
one LIR to a customer who is in another country where we
dont have a LIR - and that customers have come back and
complained that search engines by default sets up wrong
language - even if they have choosen a URL with their
own cc-TLD.
