The WRTC version was derived from the IARU HF where the used country 
file is the "CQWW" one, especially to guess the correct ITU zones of 
some "exotic" callsigns (like the IG9 ones, who used zone 37 for their 
exchange one or two years ago when a station located there entered the 
contest), and also to get the correct points credit (because of the 
continent).

IMHO, the WRTC rule should also use this list to prevent any discussion. 
in the future.

I also noticed it during when I was operating TM0HQ. I found the 
workaround to enter "27" as exchange instead of "REF" for our own callsign.

That will be fixed soon.
