I think that, in the example provided for state abbreviations, some of the abbreviations given are obscure for those of us in the US who expect standard abbreviations.

For example: Ala, Calif, DE, FL,

Standard abbreviations would be:
* AL
* CA
* DE
*FL

I'm pretty sure the abbreviations are based on standards provided by the USPS (United States Postal Service). There are two capitalized letters for each of the 50 states.

Cheers,
