Whilst we are on USRNs (and UPRNs), I have updated https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_OpenData to include them. The whole discussion on how they join up could merit a wiki section or page of its own...somewhere to collect together all the snippets of information.....just a gentle reminder that if we don't document stuff then it disappears into the ether. Sure, it's on Talk-GB archive, but it's still just talk.
