The link at the top of iso3166.tab 
(http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/updates_on_iso_3166.htm) 
is a 404 now too. It probably should be 
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search or something.

That also suggests, that "GB" should really be "United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland (the)" as per 
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB — but that's a bit long :-)

I do agree that this patch should be applied.

cheers,
Derick
