I will need that dependency on my localization capplet (if I get some
spare time to work on it) and it is not really a dependency is just a
way to reduce the .po size from other modules so I don't think it will
be bad.

Something also in my mind I did already something about it some months

I don't think so, IMHO the best place for this kind of API is at the
same level of GLib, I will try to develop a GLib like API so we could
add it in the future to GLib if their authors agree, that way we will
get the missing parts of libicu.


Cheers.

P.S.: iso-codes is being used highly inside Debian with the
debian-installer.
