href="http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=15&lat=50.72407&lon=-3.52609&layers=B0TF" target="_blank">http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=15&lat=50.72407&lon=-3.52609&layers=B0TF</a>><br><br>Three-quarters of the differences reported here are in the presence or absence<br>of a single apostrophe. This masks the more important discrepancies and makes<br>the report less useful.<br><br>I know that in principle, apostrophe differences can be resurveyed, tracked<br>down, investigated with phone calls to the council's naming department, etc.<br>But in practice many mappers will prefer to concentrate on substantial<br>differences and missing streets, considering punctuation less important.<br><br>Perhaps, then, a set of tiles can be produced which strips punctuation from<br>both the OSM and OS names before comparing? This would clearly flag up the<br>things which need more urgent checking.<br><br>-- <br>Ed Avis <<a
