Ofcom cant give them a country code because they are not classed as a separate country.
Well it wouldn't be up to Ofcom to give them a separate country code, since Ofcom is a UK regulator, not international. They could assign a totally separate number range (e.g. 04 and 06 have not been used at all) but that's probably overkill.

Given the confusion should suppliers be doing more to make it clear what's included and what's not clearly YES imho, and yes it should include all numbers/services that are not included.
I agree that is the best that is likely to happen. I might have a look and see how prominent this information is on various suppliers' websites.
