It's funny you bring this up. Looking through my older nodes, I came across something I wrote,Validate Country by ISO 3166 data. This is a tie class that lets you validate country codes. I was wondering for the life of me, why I wrote it as a tie. I think there was a reason at the time, but I was thinking as I looked at it,it was more suited for a function.

On the other hand, I totally disagree about your comment that they belong under Acme:: namespace. If you don't want to use them, don't, but for someone else, this make perfect sense.
