I believe that the French have been using the country namespace in ref codes recently and, although I was initially doubtful, I now see the value in not claiming a reference code for the entire world.

Sure, USRNs must have already been added a while back from the UK National Address Gazetteer or something, but that doesn't make ref:usrn right and fair to other countries that may have a different meaning for the acronym.
