Where do you think we should document it?.

Fixed.

Firefox 2.0.x:
  Language cookie: Domain: .gnuherds.org
  PHPSESSID cookie: Domain: www.gnuherds.org

I do not know if we should set PHPSESSID to ".gnuherds.org" too. And I do not 
know how to do it yet.

If you get a browser which is logged in, not only you can get her/his
password but also change it. I am not sure, but I think we can not solve
that problem ?.

I used the below link as reference:
  http://www.davros.org/misc/iso3166.html#existing

Please, advise me how to fix it. I have take a quick look at the below links 
and it is a nightmare.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England

At the current data base we have this. What should we add, modify or remove?.

  INSERT INTO LO_Countries VALUES ( 'GB', 'GBR', '826',
  'United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland','','');

After reading it. I agree. People use the "Back" button. I have replaced all  
target="_blank"  with  target="_top".


Let me know if anyone of you disagree.
