In the past, ISO-3166/MA maintained a color-coded "decoding table" that clearly identified the "user assigned" 2-letter ISO codes. However, for reasons that I'm sure made sense to someone, they stopped publishing the decoding table (http://www.iso.org/iso/iso-3166-1_decoding_table.html) it now is found on the Wikipedia page for "ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Decoding_table). I haven't looked particularly closely but I've been unable to locate an official reference to "user assigned" codes any more (e.g., that term isn't in the glossary at http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes_glossary.html). Is there an official, ISO maintained, listing of ISO-3166 "user assigned" codes? Thanks, -drc
