Newsletter IV-1, 1996-04-03
  Vatican, change name from VATICAN CITY STATE (HOLY SEE) to
  HOLY SEE (VATICAN CITY STATE)

Annual Report 1996, 1996-12-20
  No further changes have been made to 3166-IV.

  The fifth edition will consist of three parts:
  3166-1 country codes / DIS published April 96 / IS expected summer|fall 97
  "The list of country names remains basically unchanged."
  3166-2 country subdivision code / DIS published November 1996
  3166-3 Code for formerly used names of countries / DIS expected spring 97

  Quote: We are delighted to notice that the acceptance of ISO3166 among
  users of country codes is growing.  However, the use of ISO3166 e.g. in
  the Internet confronts ISO3166/MA with formerly unknown problems.  One
  among these problems is that more and more "non-country-entities" as
  e.g. organisations, interest groups or groupings of countries request
  ISO3166 code elements.  The scope of the standard does not allow for
  allocation of code elements to such "groups".
