[Talk-GB] OS products (WAS:Quarterly task)

[SK53]

For water courses etc. this will make little difference (other than types
of changes best checked against aerial imagery as mentioned by Andy & Phil).

A tiled layer of this data would either require setting stuff up with
mod_tile or a brute force render of multiple layers taking up masses &
masses of space (the nature of streams being that they are likely to
populate tiles at every level).

The only group which has done something like this is Grough magazine (check
the archives), but it's probably too much to ask of anyone's personal
servers.
