RE: QC certificates and Nationality

[Paul Koning <pkoning@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another way to look at the digraph vs. trigraph issue: given that the
draft refers to the ISO standard, and the latest rev of that standard
has both digraph and trigraph country codes, the obvious thing to do
is to track that standard and support both.

Of course, that does pose an interesting issue.  If a cert shows
citizenship with a digraph country code and a security label has a
trigraph, is that a mismatch?  

If yes, that means that you have to use a single form consistently
across your entire organization -- trigraph or digraph, whichever you
like, but only one.  Is that an acceptable operational restriction?

If no, then you have to implement the conversion anyway, so you can
test for equality between a digraph and a trigraph country code.
