I haven't been following this very closely but CA is known (almost) the
world over as the abbreviation for California.  It is part of a widely
accepted set of abbreviations for both the provinces and states.  I even
suspect this set might even have some offical status.

Please choose something else.

Second, if there develops a need to reach some sort of majority consensus,
plse send mail to each site administrator.  I, for one, only have time to
follow this item on a sporadic basis.

p.s. There must be some parallels between what is being discussed here and
	similar issues with respect to telephone and postal code and address
	naming schemes.
