OS claim not have any easter eggs in their data. I, like you, would definitely visit before adding anything.

The convention that Peter Miller of ITO World has suggested is that we add a tag not:name=The Ring in that case. It indicates to others not to change it to the OS name, it allows the anomaly to be removed from ITO World's tiles and Peter is going to report these to OS who are interested in fixing any errors we find.
