Is there any way we can actually get the country/province/state options to show up with their actual abbreviations instead of these numbers that show up in the checkout process:

...
<option value="67">British Columbia</option>
<option value="68">Manitoba</option>
...

just so I can pass these on to my merchant properly without the confusing # values...

Using the ID helps the current system of tracking countries/zones. However, there is a helper function that will return the abbreviation based on the ID:

<?php
  $abbr = uc_get_zone_code($zone_id);
?>

so wait, would a simple change like this (line 2178 in uc_store.module):

FROM:

$options[$zone->zone_id] = ($display == 'code') ? $zone->zone_code : $zone->zone_name;

TO

$options[$zone->zone_code] = ($display == 'code') ? $zone->zone_code : $zone->zone_name;

change anything significantly in terms of order tracking, in the core functionality of ubercart?

if not, I'll just go with this modification for now...

It wouldn't work, because the field for zones in the database expects an integer not a string. Also, all the submit functions are looking for integers I believe...
