The interesting thing about the ISO is that it takes years to get around to
making standards or changes to standards. Have a look at how often ISO
3166-1 gets changed. It's about every three years, even though country names
often change more regularly than that. It was last updated in 1997.
I would imagine that either OpenSSL already supports it, or the standard is
so dated as to have been superseded by other developments.
