Oh. I see.
Jamie: All of the loc groups are parallelized and orthogonalized by
country. The two-letter designators (that is, the xx's in lugnet.loc.xx)
are the countries' respective Internet first-level domains, so as long as
New Zealand has its own top-level domain, that's where it stays. Scotland
and Northern Ireland are technically part of the UK, so that's why those
countries are listed inside the .loc.uk hierarchy.

| (...) So where is lugnet.loc.gb then? It itself is a top level domain - I've noticed in the list that the Title for the UK was "UK of GB and NI" - I didn't know that GB and UK were essentially that different - an American proves me wrong :-) (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
