Is using the source:OS_OpenData_{Product} tag good enough as a caveat? Or 
should we also add FIXMEs? When I started I used both, but now as the tag 
structures for the OS OpenData seems pretty solid I removed the FIXMEs and no 
longer add them.

The one time I can think of using a FIXME in addition to the OS tags is for 
roads which look like service roads in the OSSV data, but there's no indication 
of their surface type. I add a FIXME if I don't know the surface type myself. 
Or do we just assume that the OS tags are sufficient ad that people will know 
that these should all be surveyed/checked on the ground?

Cheers
Tim
