Examples don't set good policy.=20

A good policy: ISO C++ is good enough, so the ISO country list is good

flags. The list is the list, and we should not divide it and create
second-rank countries.

This part still rocks. If KDE contributors actually agree upon a better
standard, let's discuss, but until then, send third parties to ISO, vendors
