I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The
results look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt
incorrectly, whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've
done doesn't automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just
compares names in OS Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and
spits out the names which don't appear in OSM.<br>
<br>
The results are at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison<br>
<br>
Hope this will prove useful.<br>

This has been on my todo list since the data came out. I'm hoping to<br>
get to it next weekend during the hack weekend but if anyone else gets<br>
to it first I'll do something else!<br>
