I'm pretty sure naptan:verified is supposed to be used to confirm
verification of the other naptan:* tags, not just the physical
existence of the bus stop.

Specifically naptan:AtcoCode and/or naptan:NaptanCode, as far as I'm
concerned the other naptan tags don't really make sense in OSM and we
should consider deprecating them.
