Based on the latest comments this is my proposal:
Add enBE, enIN, shYU, srYU.
Change enUK to enGB.
Do not add arAA, shSP, srSP, as they are not based on the Unicode standard.
Does that work for everybody?

I haven't seen any standard that has UK in it so I say use GB.
AA and SP are IBM internal designation for all Arabic countries and Serbia (see email attached below). If you look at http://www.niso.org/3166.html#serbia you'll see the Serbia question addressed. So, I don't think these need to be added.

"SP" is the abbreviation that IBM uses for Serbia. It's appropriate to
call it a "territory", in the POSIX-locale sense, but,
politically-speaking, there may be a difference of opinion about whether
it's a country.
"AA" is the IBM generic designation for "Arabic-speaking countries". If
you're including only (and all) countries you don't need this.
