NHxx isn't supposed to be read by humans - the renderers should read

with the Nearmap imagery it's quite feasible to map them. This ties

Sadly, that's not how I understand it - particularly the "terms in
place between OSM and the individual ... at the relevant time." bit
says to me that retrospective signing of the CTs to cover old
