International .com keyboard hack: NZ and beyond

I recently posted about internationalizing your iPhone's .com key. TUAW reader nzbullet directed me to this New Zealand/Australia button hack. It works like this: you copy the UK keyboard folder, rename it to a new country and then swap the .co.uk for a new extension.
Unfortunately, you seem to be limited to switching existing keyboard styles to new text--you can't add more characters. This means that the 6 characters of the UK keyboard (.co.uk) can morph to com.au (6 characters) but not to .com.au. (7 characters)
I thought it was a pretty nifty workaround and thought I'd share.

For New Zealand iPhone users, there's also the Kiwi-ise set of tools for iPhone. Not only does is sort .co.nz for your keyboard, but it also sorts the caller ID/number formatting which means numbers are recognized when the caller is in contacts. There's also a carrier logo (vodafone), a NZ map icon for the maps app and instructions on setting up the voicemail button for vodafone - and it's all free. See: http://www.kiwi-ise.co.nz/
