Ocean confusion

I think there's a couple of errors in the Geoplanet documentation.

1: Under "Countries & Codes", it says

"The following codes may be used for continents and oceans in the /seas and /countries collections"

but the non-continental codes specified are all codes for oceans from the /oceans collection, not the /seas collection.

2: Under "/countries/{place}" it says,

Returns a collection of places that are countries and are part of or adjacent to the specified continent or ocean.

but I can't get this to work for oceans at all. For example, querying on the Indian Ocean, I think I should be able to do either of these:

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/countries/IN

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/countries/55959675

but both return a 404.

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. This looks like a bug, and we will investigate the cause.

    We are still looking into the problem, and we don't have an ETA for the fix yet.
