The numeric codes are not managed by the RA but by the UN Statistics Division,
are freely available for any use, and are rock-stable. I recommend them.

For what it is worth, TC46/WG2 resolved to request TC46 that the
entire technical contents of ISO 3166-1 be made freely available on
the web. Currently only the short country names and 2-letter codes
are freely available from the official site.

That is mighty odd. I have forwarded a query about it to the 3166/MA.
I was in Paris Monday and Tuesday of this week at the TC46/WG2 meeting
where 3166 matters and other matters were discussed.
I'm guessing this may be related to the fact that ISO is now
delivering ISO 3166-1/2 codes "in the form of two
Microsoft Access 2000 databases." (Although you can also order
the standards without the database files.)

This is absolutely incorrect. One has to pay to buy a hard copy of these
standards, and I think part 2 of ISO 3166 can only be obtained by purchase.
But the code tables for
ANSI has membership fees, accreditation fees, and a scheme for
site licensing for access to standards documents. But I've never
heard of a license fee for *use* of ISO 639 or ISO 3166 codes.
Once you acquire the standard, you should be able to freely
use it. That is how ISO standards work.
