(leaving aside the Google issue)

Can I make one additional request - If you're adding street names based 
on OS Locator can you make it clear (via a source:name tag) that you've 
done that?


That is extremely useful information as it tells future on-theground 
mappers which streets haven't been surveyed for POIs and linking 
footpaths, etc.

Definitely. I do try to do that every time.

It is however a bit confusing that pressing 'b' in os locator background
view with the 'simple' panel displayed in Potlatch appears to achieve
nothing (even though it works behind the scene).

It is also a bit dangerous that it is easy to change the 'ref' field for a
road to 'b' if one pressed return on the name field for a more major road
(which works fine for residential roads). It is also odd that pressing
return a few times to get away from text boxes on the Potlatch interface
for primary and trunk roads seems to freeze at the 'lanes' text field so it
is also easy to change the lanes count to 'b'!

Finally, it is odd that 'b' doesn't work when more that one road segment is
selected in Potlach,

We will do a trac ticket or two for Potlatch as appropriate.
