[Talk-GB] Historic England - tagging guidelines - can we agree on the English usage

I haven't forgotten this - work and some thought have intervened.

The agreed basis is

heritage:operator=Historic England
heritage:operator=Cadw
heritage:operator=Historic Environment Scotland
heritage:operator=Northern Ireland Environment Agency

ref:GB:he=12345
ref:GB:hs=LB2345
ref:GB:cadw=34567
ref:GB:niea=55643

this also works for non statutory organisations eg CAMRA

heritage:operator=CAMRA

ref:GB:CAMRA=xyz

I think that in the case where an object is in two or more lists e.g. 
Chirk Aqueduct then relations needs to be used, my concept is

object Z - tagged with physical properties, it is then a member in two 
relations, a relation A holding Historic England refs and a relation B 
holding Cadw refs. This relation method also works for example a pub in 
CAMRA and Historic England

I'll start making the wiki changes in the next day or so if there are no 
objections.
