[Talk-GB] London progress and unnamed roads

[Dave Stubbs]

I was aiming more for a map of what's really there, rather than a map
of what's not there.
The tracing people haven't actually managed to do everywhere yet, so I
thought it gave a slightly better impression.
There's also the false positives, ie: residential streets that
actually don't have a name... in a highlight mode these become more
obvious than you really want them. In dehighlight mode they just
vanish, and you don't notice.

I did try all residential streets with no name bright pink, but it was
kind of scary.
But there's no reason I can't do that too... I'll play with some style sheets.
