I'm still scratching my head here... "in the past"?  While old countries 
have gone away and become new countries with new codes, according to the 
note paf forwarded, the assignment of "CS" to the new country was only the 
second time since 74 that a country code was reused.  I don't remember any 
other country code being reused since the DNS got started.  Which is why I 
raised the general question.

So - which country code was reassigned from an old dead country to a new 
country that required DNS changes and the movement of delegations from the 
old dead country code?  (Unless you're referring to the "gb" vs "uk" debacle?)
