I hope ITO will be able to produce the reverse mapping as you propose - ie OSM Names that are not in OS Locator. Should be useful to highlight both errors in OSM and omissions in OS. Fyi, we have also just imported OS Vector District into our systems today and hope to be able to add a masked OS Vector District geometry to the tiles showing where there are roads/paths in OS that are not close to roads in OSM. This will highlight the missing geometry. We are also going to see if we can with any confidence match-up names from OS Locator with Geometry with OS Vector District which might give us data which we could consider bulk importing into OSM but we would look for other OSM experts to handle any import if it was possible.
