[Talk-GB] Using UK v GB for uk speed limit tags

[Jason Cunningham]

Just in the process of adding some speed limits and went to the wiki to
clarify tagging.
UK speed limits commonly had a source:maxspeed tag, which contained UK, eg
source:maxspeed=UK:motorway.
Wiki page was recently changed and advised using GB eg
source:maxspeed=GB:motorway
The change notes correctly pointed out that GB was the correct
international code for the UK.
But with so many speed limit tags now using UK is it helpful to change?
Personally not bothered whether UK or GB, but in the area I'm mapping I'd
like all my tags to be the same.
Does anyone else have views on this?

(I've memories of a few arguing that we dont need UK/GB tags when the data
is georeferenced but I'm not really interested in that right now)
