Even if static_info_tables is based on ISO, it would still be possible 
to add additional countries and leave the iso fields empty. Each 
extension developer must decide by himself which data of 
static_info_tables he wants to use.
This extension is just a collection of data. I think in some cases, e.g. 
in sports matters, it would be helpful to have the countries England, 
Scotland, Wales and Nothern Ireland added. Does also the address say 
Scotland and not United Kingdom?

Send me the data for it as email and I can add it, if nobody opposes.
