I'm glad they explain how to write names on the card for even very long names, like: "Dingo Pontooroomooloo Vaasa Silvaan Beenelong Wooloomooloo Warrandyte Warwarnambool"
- deepsun 3y agoHow?
- bee_rider 3y agoTable 4-1 on page 44, I think.
- mschuster91 3y agoTo send you down a bit of a rabbit hole: ICAOs standard 9303 [1] on how to abbreviate long names for use on the MRZ of international travel documents uses the exact same examples. [1] https://www.icao.int/publications/Documents/9303_p4_cons_en.pdf https://www.icao.int/publications/Documents/9303_p4_cons_en.... (page 30)
- omoikane 3y agoI wonder how they came up with this. I thought it was unique to FIPS 201 but looks like ICAO has it too. Is there like a lorem ipsum generator but for text that looks like names?

- doctor_eval 3y agoThat is weird. Dingo is an Australian native dog. Wooloomooloo and Bennelong (slight spelling difference) are in Sydney, Australia. Warrandyte is an outer suburb north of Melbourne. Warnambool (not Warwarnambool) is a town to the west of Melbourne. I've been to all of them. Why so much Australian in this example?!
- xarope 3y agosome involvement with the australian outback and NASA at some point in history?
- doctor_eval 3y agoMaybe, but there's nothing outback about any of those places. Warrandyte is a great place to watch platypus playing in the Yarra river!
