Comments: as of 2006-03-29 GB no longer includes the Channel Islands and
Isle of Man; see GG, JE, IM

and Ukraine is :
Type: language
Subtag: uk
Description: Ukrainian
Added: 2005-10-16
Suppress-Script: Cyrl

So I think that is probably the reason - uk means somewhere else entirely in the context of language codes, if not in the assignment of TLDs.

I did think about the Ukraine yesterday, and then forgot I'd thought about it! Since there is an alternative to UK for these islands, the sense is there! Thanks, Bob!
