Yep, so I'd like to see that kind of mismatch (where OS Locator says
there is a street called "Back Crossflats Place" and OSM doesn't have
any way of any name at that location) presented in a separate list or
perhaps in a different map layer to differentiate it from the ways that
are present in OSM but are either unnamed or disagree on the name.

That would highlight areas that are badly in need of the most basic road
mapping over those that may have a comparatively good street map with
all the roads present but are just missing lots of names. 

End users of the map are much more likely to be put off by missing roads
than missing road names.
