[CQ-Contest] Question about Cabrillo Files for NAQP

N3FJP contest logger insists on using the entire name for Countries 
(either considered North American or DX) in the cabrillo file.

For example, when I copy and XE1, and he says "MX" for Mexico, the file 
has "Mexico"  or when I work Argentina, the fellow only sends a name, no 
country, but the Cabrillo file has "Argentina" in the SPC space.

If I leave this as is, will I get penalized?  Or should I replace the MX 
for Mexico, and PR for Puerto Rico, etc, and take out the countries like 
ARgentina, since this wasn't part of the exchange.

I don't recall if this occurred in past years, perhaps I didn't work any 
foreign stations.  Any experts out there?
