Agree with -
My preference was for ref:GB:uprn and ref:GB:usrn,
Can we put onto the Wiki as placeholders and ask people to refrain from
changes until agreement on how best to use them and apply a source
reference.
I'm thinking that the data may be more accurate than our existing
methods allow, so what will be policy of updating OSM data with new
shapes from INSPIRE.
