Unfortunately, there are lots of cases where people add detailed data 
that, although possibly not mechanically derivable from other data, 
still doesn't add much to the map.  Recently I've noticed that a snap 
shot of restaurant food safety ratings has been added in a certain area. 
  These will never get maintained and the restaurant may have moved from 
perfect to being closed by the council by the time someone reads them 
(fortunately the one that had been closed by the council wasn't one that 
had a recorded rating!).

(Street names are actually very stable compared with small office 
tenants or food safety ratings, so are relatively harmless except in 
terms of database bloat.)
