Oh.

My strongly held and asserted opinion is entirely based on their getting 
into that table.

The whole idea that IANA had in using that table is to off-load the 
"interesting" problem to the maintainers of that ISO table.  If EU is in 
the table, there is a standard IANA mechanism.  Just turn the crank and out 
pops another ccTLD,

Whether there can be 2-letter codes outside of ones in the ISO table is, 
perhaps, an amusing question to pursue, but I believe it is irrelevant to 
this issue.

Unless EU wants a TLD but is not listed in the ISO table.  And THEN we have 
the whole mess of policy issues that people have been enjoying raising.
