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.
