[OSM-newbies] British National Grid

I am generating an OSM-compatible overlay to show the 1km lines of the 
National Grid on MapSource and on my Garmin GPS.

Can anyone suggest a suitable tag for these? I am using 
"boundary/administrative", but it doesn't seem quite appropriate 
somehow, and I haven't found any "standard" tags which fit better.

On a related point, I am giving the grid lines names in the form of 334N 
or 267E. After compilation with mkgmap, these come out in MapSource and 
on my Garmin as 334n or 267e. Any suggestion of where to lower case 
creeps in from?

Thanks,

Roger
