[Talk-GB] featdesc & featcode

[Dave F]

Thanks for that.

I'm struggling to see the benefit of this in OSM, & given only one 
contributor has added them I presume I'm not alone.
The codes appear to be another company's database reference system, of 
which OSM has its own.
OSM should not become a dump for external databases. Anyone with valid 
reasons for not removing these tags?
