There are two aspects to this bug:

a) Geographical coordinates should be resolved internally,
   without GeoHack (sic!).

b) Treat OS grid coordinates as first-class citizens.

For the first use case, there is Extension:MapSources (not
to be confused with my Extension:Mapsources :-)) for the
presentational side which has been deployed to the Wikivoy-
ages, and Extension:GeoData for a database backend.

I don't know if someone is eager to open Pandora's box and
promise support for the various other coordinate formats.
