[Talk-GB] Geospatial Commission to release UPRN/ UPSN identifiers under Open Government Licence

[Tony OSM]

Prefer capitalised
ref:UK:uprn and ref:UK:usrn

as wikipage for ref https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref shows 
towards the end that US and FR are used to build up refs, FR has a page 
showing all their ref's 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/France/Liste_des_r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rences_nationales

Possibly of interest ISO 3166 allows for GB to be sudivided by local 
government area to produce eg

council area 	GB-ABE 	Aberdeen City 	
	en 	
	
council area 	GB-ABD 	Aberdeenshire 	
	en 	
	
council area 	GB-ANS 	Angus 	
	en 	
	
district 	GB-ANN 	Antrim and Newtownabbey 	
	en


Not to be part of addr: but as standalone keys.

I recognise coding could obviate the need for GB - but that's hard work 
, GB is easy and memorable and matches what other OSM'rs are doing, and 
extensible if other countries have keys with the same acronym.
