I generally agree, but .io stands for "indian ocean", which isn't a country.
“Territories of the Indian Ocean” which had been internationally recognized as a political entity and is no more.
An important consideration is what if something becomes internationally recognized with that two character abbreviation? How is it IANA’s business to disagree with the world?
