In the australsia file, how about including Cocos (nearer to Christmas
Island than Christmas Island is to Australia) and Norfolk (admittedly
further from Australia than, say, New Caledonia, but still closer to
Australia's east coast than Perth is) in the "Australian miscellany"
section, since they belong to Australia?
Because they have their own ISO country codes.
Actually, consistency suggests that Christmas Island should be kept
seperate from Australian miscellany, as it has its own ISO country
code. E.g. something like the following. This doesn't change the
order of the data entries, just the commentary, which is probably why
the other coordinator didn't notice this discrepancy.
