I don't think the classifier would make much sense in this case. You
want to tag the national reference. In Austria this would be the
austrian (and only austrian) reference, in Germany the german (and
only german) reference, in the UK ... you got it. You wouldn't tag a
ref:UK in France. I think this is the difference compared to tags like
name.
