Hi Denis,
Thanks for your email, brother!

imho:
...no need to ommit it; if it's possible to (i) interpret
country: attribute values as default, when it exist,
for INET(6)NUM objects without geofeed: attribute
values; and (ii) give priority to geofeed: attribute
values against country: ones.

Shalom,
