I'm not quite clear what the concrete goals are here: is it just to add 
fhrs:id and addr:postcode tags to relevant establishments (and perhaps 
to map those establishments if they're not already there in OSM?)

What degree of verification is expected on the part of the mapper? Is 
the existence of a (probably fuzzy) name match between an OSM feature 
and a nearby FHRS record adequate justification for adding the relevant 
tags, or is some local knowledge or survey expected?

(On a related topic, suppose an establishment has a web site which 
includes useful information like address & postcode details. Would one 
be breaking rules to copy that information to OSM? After all, the text 
on the web site will be, AIUI, copyright.)
