Doesn't it? http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Cornish,GB&output=xml
yields ten placemarks, all in the UK.

I reckon (A) is the way to do things. It's what I do: for my UK-based
site, I add ",UK" to what the user enters; if nothing is found, I
remove it and try again. See http://www.achurchnearyou.com/toddington-st-andrew/
and on the "Find us" tab, try "Paris" and "Paris, France".
