Grr.  "100% road name completion" has become in this thread "100% 
completeness".  There already exists one source of 100% OS-compatible 
maps - the OS itself.  Why we need another one is unclear to me.

BTW sorry Ed - I'm not attacking you directly - it's just that the 
general thrust in some of the mails here seems to be that mapping the 
names of roads is all that matters.  I'm sure that that's not what you 
meant (but I suspect that it is true for some of the people tracing 
blindly from OSSV) - it's just that your posting was the most obvious 
one to reply to.

Cheers,
Andy
