There needs to be adequate verifying which is why it should be done by 
someone with previous experience of mech edits.

Things to test for:
Is it a tertiary way
Does it have a ref that starts with 'C'
Is it followed by a number?
Is the number < 4 characters (unsure if there are any with 4 digits)
Does it already have a 'official_ref' tag?
etc

If there are tertiary ways that don't meet the above criteria they 
should be listed in some form of text file for individual editing if 
appropriate.
