[SEDXC] [sedxc] DXCC Deletion of Kingman Reef

DXAC needs to get involved in the Kosovo situation - action that is
*long overdue*.

Change the DXCC Rules to add the Department of State "Independent
States in the World" list <http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/4250.htm>
as an alternative to UN Membership, the DOS "Dependencies" list,
and the UN "Non self-governing territories" lists.

Adding "Independent States in the World" provides an alternative to
unilateral vetoes in the UN Security Council.

73,
