The wiki has long been inconsistent. It probably still recommends the 
US:ST approach somewhere.

It's not what the states themselves use. I know I'm not the only one who 
believes this; I've noticed, for example, a number of "UT" changed to 
"SR" with a comment like "there's no such thing as UT x".
