[Talk-GB] Marine Conservation Zone Project: Interactive Map and OSM Boundaries

Just followed a link from Mapperz to the MCZ Interactive Project and found this 
little snippet on the FAQ:

"The OpenStreetMap background mapping used by the interactive map has some legal                                          
boundaries built in (pale purple lines). These have some small discrepancies 
compared                                          to the official boundary and 
shouldn't be used to locate yourself. We are trying                                          
to get the OpenStreetMap boundaries amended as soon as possible."

I wondered if anyone was aware of how this process is occurring? Given that MCZ 
has DEFRA, JNCC, and Natural England as stakeholders, does this presage official 
interest in having accurate boundaries in OSM?
