Is it possible to analyse how much of that is independently surveyed and how much
is just copied from OS?  (I know that some mappers have not added source tags
when copying from OS, and going through changeset comments is probably too hard,
but it would give a rough idea.)

Even if you're in favour of armchair mapping, I think most agree that copying
the names from the OS map is just 'phase 1', with the next and much more time-
consuming step being to go out and resurvey to make sure.
