Okay.

I've listed all ISO numbers that I could find (maybe there remain a few
uncovered, but this should show at least most of them):

$ grep -rho 'ISO[^a-zA-Z()<";:\.,&/[]*' \
  | sed 's/_/ /g' \
  | sed 's/\\\\//g' \
  | sed 's/-/ /g' \
  | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' \
  | sort \
  | uniq \
  | sed 's/ /-/' \
  | sed 's/ .*//' \
  | sort \
  | uniq \
  | sed 's/-/ /' \
  | grep ' ';
ISO 10646
ISO 14652
ISO 2022
ISO 2375
ISO 3166
ISO 4217
ISO 4873
ISO 639
ISO 6429
ISO 646
ISO 6709
ISO 8208
ISO 8601
ISO 8602
ISO 8859
ISO 9660
ISO 9945


And then searching those numbers in the ISO website, I created the
following list:


iso/iec:
	10646
	14652

iso:
	2022
	2375
	3166
	4217
	4873
	639
	6429
	8208
	8601
	8602
	8859-
	9660

iso/iec/ieee:
	9945

I'll apply a global fix with this info.
