IANAL, IANCC (I am not a lawyer, I am not Creative Commons).

My understanding is that it's standard to specify the jurisdiction for a 
license. If doing so isn't possible wherever the user of a license happens to 
be then the license has another clause that makes it clear that only that 
particular term is invalid, not the rest of the license.

Also the term of the license that allows you to use another CC license would 
allow you to use the local CC license for Spain, Italy or Finland that has 
the same terms as the UK CC license instead. (Is that right?) .
