Possibly of interest ISO 3166 allows for GB to be sudivided by local
government area to produce eg
council area GB-ABE Aberdeen City
en
council area GB-ABD Aberdeenshire
en
council area GB-ANS Angus
en
district GB-ANN Antrim and Newtownabbey

Not to be part of addr: but as standalone keys.
I recognise coding could obviate the need for GB - but that's hard work
, GB is easy and memorable and matches what other OSM'rs are doing, and
extensible if other countries have keys with the same acronym.

So I'd propose that we use either ref:uprn and ref:usrn, or
ref:UK:uprn and ref:UK:usrn. What does everyone else think?
I'd be happy with either, so long as it's consistent.
That is ideal from my point of view ... yes you can get the country by
processing the location information, but being able to simply list all
of them WITHOUT the overhead of other processing has to be the right way
forward?
We could make such an argument about any tag, e.g. "addr:postcode"
couldn't we? Someone who wants a GB-only list can easily get them from
a GB extract such as Geofabrik's.
On the other hand I'm happy with "ref:gb:uprn" and "ref:gb:usrn" if
preferred (can we use lowercase for convenience please?) since it
seems these terms are not global.
