I'm not saying they do ...

Only that there is no point adding 'University of Nottingham, University
Park, NOTTINGHAM' to every single location on the campus when 'NG7 2RD'
provides the same information? That there are also inconsistencies is
probably to be expected since it's human beings that create the original
data :) In which case THEN the attached data on the object is used as a
higher priority to the linked versions. As I said, a street's identity
in NSG has nothing to do with it's postcode and hopefully some time soon
we will have open access to that information to mess things up again.
The problem is that using this much more consistent id is not something
humans will be comfortable with :(
