In my view we need to be putting out a consistent UK wide message (preferably parish name, type and number) and not confusing potential mappers by having different formats in different counties. We have enough trouble already with path references variously being put in name, ref or local_ref instead of prow_ref, so need a simple unambiguous standard.
