Whoops, yeah, I will document it on that page: currently the script is horribly 
inefficient, and I was gonna clean it up today and post the code on the wiki 
tonight. It's not too long.
 
Oh, and it's in php. Apologies to the haters.

Hi Tim
 
The wiki page all seems to be clear until the bit where you “use custom script 
to compare data”. Are you going to document the script? Or is it mentioned 
elsewhere and I’m missing it? I’m sort of tempted to try doing the same around 
me in Essex. 
  
Thanks 
  
Ed

All,

I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The results 
look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt incorrectly, 
whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've done doesn't 
automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just compares names in OS 
Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and spits out the names 
which don't appear in OSM.

The results are at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison

Hope this will prove useful.

Tim

This has been on my todo list since the data came out.  I'm hoping to
get to it next weekend during the hack weekend but if anyone else gets
to it first I'll do something else!
