Re: Kosovo as new Country
Reserved code elements are codes which have become obsolete, or are required in order to enable a particular user application of the standard but do not qualify for inclusion in ISO 3166-1. To avoid transitional application problems and to aid users who require specific additional code elements for the functioning of their coding systems, the ISO 3166/MA, when justified, reserves these codes which it undertakes not to use for other than specified purposes during a limited or indeterminate period of time. The reserved alpha-2 codes can be divided into the following four categories: exceptional reservations, transitional reservations, indeterminate reservations, and codes currently agreed not to use.

Re: Kosovo as new Country
The list of exceptional reservations is pretty much a list of proposed ISO 3166 codes that HAVEN'T been assigned. They are reserved but are not in use.

Re: Kosovo as new Country
Ehm... It's Unknown, EU... There is a reason WHY it is Unknown, EU... It's basically not based on the ISO code. It's based on the location of the user. Or on a service he uses. It's the same case as Asia/Pacific. Does that have an ISO code? No. Does satellite provider have one? No. BAM!
