The current list is available here :

It includes the modifications you did last year. Please feel free to 
send me newer updates if needed, PRIVATELY. Thanks in anticipation.

Actually, AFAIK, the STATE field is supposed to be reserved to the US 
state (http://www.hosenose.com/adif/adif.html). I know some loggers use 
the "PROVINCE" field for other countries areas (which is not even 
mentionned in this specification !). To be honest, I think the easiest 
way to manage this is to edit the export file yourself to comply your 
your own logger or your own taste. I heard that, someday, XDIF 
(http://xdif.org/) should help ;-) Yes, I know, one more format...

Mmmhhh... It you could see our own (french) keyboards remappings, you 
would be very surprised too (for exemple, on french keyboards, you have 
to use Shift to reach the numbers of the first row !) ! Good point, you 
only need to do it once ;-)

Tnx for your report.
