The content of such fields are just for quick informations. Formatted
strings shouldn't appear there. I don't like the idea of formatted Addresses
in the card view. We have already the details page, that presents the
Addressees details in a formatted way.

Yepp Jost did I guess :)

ATM there is no country name <-> country iso code conversation tool available
in kdelibs and the KCountryCombo seemed not to implement it as well. Either
we write our one stuff (I don't like this idea) or we extend KLocale =>
everybody can prefer from that change.
