I think uploading the files somewhere for people to use would certainly be
interesting, yes. You could find some webspace and upload (say)
leicestershire.osm and cumbria.osm and so on.

Because so much boundary data (of varying accuracy) is already in OSM,
updating the geometries using OS OpenData would be by necessity a manual
task - which is as it should be. But having the data easily available is the
first step.

With P2, either .gpx or .osm is fine. One file per admin unit would be
better than one 300Mb file... the latter is almost certain to boggle the
amount of data you can load in-browser!

cheers
Richard
