Heh, no, I don't mind them being included. After all, Serbian is
pretty well translated, so I don't have to worry about that. ;)

I just say that it's not really clear what's the best option to be
chosen now.  Yes, I want your localization applet (it's very relevant
to everything we're doing here), but I don't want us to put (other)
translators up to too much work.

Well, "without translations" could very well be inside another
translation domain. Is it an option at all to use
  dgettext("iso_3166",...)
and similar functions?

If there's no translation in the domain iso_3166, then "without
translations" is fullfilled.  So, you're not requiring it, but you're 
able to make use of it if it's present.  This is just like what is
done with "unicode-translation" and gucharmap, I think.

I think this is by far the best option, because it lets anybody
have translations, and doesn't have any negative impact on our
translation work.
