Judging by all this, and given that the PAF is badly maintained, shouldn't we (by 'we' I mean the open data / civic hacking community) be asking for the NLPG (National Land and Property Gazeteer) rather than the PAF? This is updated by local authorities as part of their duties and submitted to a national database, so genuinely is something that really shouldn't be charged for. This would also mean that each property will have a standard identifier (uprn), which would be great for linked data purposes and giving each property a standard URI.
Absolutely, yes. I think this would be far more valuable to the open data community than the PAF. I suspect that the only reason it isn't being asked for is because far fewer people are aware of its existence.
