At the risk of reopening the apostrophes war, my point is that issues such as
Saint vs St, or Queen's Drive versus Queens Drive, are not ones that can be
resolved by survey.  They are merely orthographic conventions.  Similarly, we
do not report a mismatch between High Street and HIGH STREET, even though the OS
map and data uses upper case, and most councils use it for street signs.

However, I've changed my mind - we might as well clear up apostrophes and
abbreviations at the same time as other things, it's not an obstacle to fixing
the more serious discrepancies.  So I'm happy for them to be flagged.
