So, DX4WIN is assuming that this is FO0, not Clipperton. If you have a
QSL for this saying it's Clipperton, let AD1C know so he can update
the country file.

That's because the name of the entity is "Prince Edward and Marion
Islands", which is why "Pr. Edward & Marion Islands" appears. I have
ZS8MI from 1990 as confirmed by the DXCC desk for this.
