Dan, I'm assuming below that you meant lugnet.loc.il, because there is no
group lugnet.local.yisrael...

On the entry page <http://www.lugnet.com/loc/il/> for lugnet.loc.il, it shows
lugnet.loc.il- Yisra`el (Israel)
My world atlas showed "Yisra`el" as the correct ISO-8859-1 local name (not
"Israel") -- just as "Españá" is the local name for "Spain" and "Nippon" is
the local name for "Japan", etc. Is "Yisra`el" incorrect?

Hmm, maybe as opposed to listing the English version of the name only, it
would be most helpful to list certain countries (such as .il, .es, .jp, etc.)
both ways. Listing .mx both ways, of course, probably doesn't make much
sense because the two forms only differ in an accept symbol.
