Forget it. I looked at IANA's list of country codes with a mischievous
eye. Sixth entry: "ANGOLA AO". Hmmm. Maybe "American Optical"?
Try "http://www.ao.com/". Rapidly connected to the home page of
Alpha Omega Computer Systems, Inc. of Corvallis, Oregon. Do you
propose to filter your list of country codes to eliminate two-letter
second-level domain qualifiers, and maintain the list?
Even among the list you say "Lynx should KNOW", try (as a very easy
guess :-) http://www.ru.edu/. I also find cu.edu (Colorado/Cuba),
lu.edu (Lincoln/Luxemborg), mu.edu (Marquette/Mauritius), nu.edu
(National/Niue) ... Halfway through the alphabet; I'm giving up.
Again, forget it.
