I agree this would be a good idea. I think also the catalogue should be 
subdivided according to which release of OS data a particular error is found in 
- so that effectively, every time there is a new release we start the catalogue 
again with essentially a clean sheet. Only if an error is still present should 
it be copied across from a previous version. However for this to work, we'd need 
to send the contents of the catalogue to OS more frequently than once per 
release cycle, or else there will be a time lag that leads to unnecessary 
effort.
