  I'd say the Bundeslaender are more like U.S. "states" than "counties". It's a
  good idea to add them. Is there a standard 2- or 3-letter abbreviation list for
  them? What should we use for the 'code' field in state.txt?

+ IMHO there are no codes. The Bundeslaender are not used in postal addresse, only
+ the post code (5 digits).
+ 
+ Example: the address for our German office is
+ [start]
+ Red Hat GmbH
+ 
+ Haupstaetter Strasse 58
+ D-70178 Stuttgart
+ Germany
+ [end]
+ 
+ There is no mention that it is located in Baden-Württemberg, so if you need to
+ abbreviate them choose whatever you want as long as the full name is used
+ towards the users.
