It doesn't matter if a state like MA uses SR internally we just use that

My understanding was that there are two options for California SR-60:
1) network=US:CA + ref=60
2) ref=CA 60
the second one, being older, is what we've used for the most part.
So how do you distinguish California from Canada? Or Delaware from Germany?
Assume that, lacking a network tag, the ref tag is composed of "state #" or
"I #" or "US #".
In other countries, they presumably also have adopted their own standards
for the format of the ref tag.
And do you support putting an abbreviation of the county name in the ref
tag for a county route? Or are those fine with the "ambiguous" CR?
I don't think CR is ambiguous, since there is no state by that name. I also
favor (and use) adding the network=US:state:county to these. I know that in
California, the county roads are actually unique throughout the state, so
the county is not required, but it is present on the signage, so I make
note of it in this way.
