I understand the proposal as already doing this: geofeed would have priority over country. The point is: If the country attribute means 'all the addresses in this block are used within the geographical boundary of the country', what else could you do when that's not the case? You have to modify the value to allow something else than ISO country codes (e.g. allow an optional trailing asterisk to the country code to mean not all really fall in that country) The only case I can think were you could use a ISO 3166-1 with the above meaning of "all the addresses in this block are used within the geographical boundary of the country defined by the code" (loosening it somewhat), but still being on different countries would be when using the exceptional reservation of EU to mean that all those addresses are within the borders of the European Union, but not on a single country.
