Neither of those documents needs to be updated since IANA and ICANN are still using ISO-3166. If you look on the table at the URL I provided for decoding ISO-3166-1, you'll see "exceptionally reserved" means "Code element may be used but restrictions may apply". None of the restrictions on those codes have been violated by their use as TLDs.
