Hi, Chris! Yes, I'd love you to, but that only obscures the point I was 
originally making, which is that, given an automated process and an 
adequate infrastructure, this and all the other relevant OS data sets 
could have been available to *all* UK mappers by now - not just those 
who (a) know how to do it themselves or (b) know whom to ask!

Incidentally, I thought I read that Nominatim were implementing 
CodePoint Open, and even thought I'd seen it in action, but it's not 
there now: was I mistaken?
