Hello Teofilo,
I appreciate a lot that you rose up this issue of confusion (I was
planning to do that myself a bit later).
I'm from Ukrainian WP (recently - from WMF chapter for Ukraine as
well) and I've met many times those confusions/misunderstandings
starting from
http://uk.wikipedia.org
vs.
Wikipedias follow the ISO 639
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639language code standard, where
uk is the code for the Ukrainian language.
The chapter sites, however, use the ISO
3166http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166standard for country codes,
and ua is the code for the country of Ukraine.

Hi Jon,
Thanks a lot for promt and informative (so valuable) input.
Regarding

The chapter sites, however, use the ISO 3166 standard for country codes,
all WPs and all chapters have to do that very strictly and same way,
aren't they
Cruccone, I can confirm what you've said about Brazilian Portuguese,
although I don't know that I'd characterise it as a lot.
Back in older times before there was much Breton content there, the
domain was squatted by people who would have liked to have a
separate WP for Brazilian Portuguese
Wikimedia Serbia and Serbian language projects have similar problem
with Suriname: The code for Serbian language is sr, while the code for
Serbia is rs. It is interesting that .sr code was one of the preferred
codes for some Serbian sites for a long time: it is free and for a
long time Serbia used
Yes same issue for Sinhala (of Sri Lanka) and the country code for
Slovenia - SI or Burmese and Malaysia - MY or Virgin Islands and
Vietnamese - VI.
I'm sure there are several other cases as well.

I'm quite sure that was the main reason to pick this issue up to this
mailing list.
It seems that it's high time to create some page on Meta to place
whole list there and to collect there precedents how such issue were
solved.

I'm not sure how the WMF servers are set up, it might be possible to
direct our domain directly at their servers... Worth looking into.
Please look into as move to own servers will not be in nearest weeks.
As to the best of my understanding:
