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

Is this true? I was under the impression that we mapped what we saw -
i.e. the definitive name is the one we see on the street signs
I've got a road that's Arnolds Way in OSM and on the street signs,
Arnold's Way in OSSV. How should it be tagged?
name=Arnolds Way
alt_name=Arnold's Way

In such situations I usually do some research to find out who is correct.

I went out at the weekend to resurvey all the highlighted roads in
this district (Tendring, Essex - about 38 IIRC). Many of these were
apostrophe related and I was beginning to think that the district
had a policy of not including apostrophes on street signs until I
came to one where they had.

Could the OS versus OSM name comparison be changed to strip apostrophes from
both names before comparing?
See
http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=16lat=51.54886lon=-0.20997layers=B0TF
for example - neither OS nor OSM have any real consistency in whether to use
apostrophe or not.
I've no wish
Differences on the naming of sections of trunk road (Southern Bypass
vs Southern Bypass Road) are also a little distracting.

Agreed - might as well mop up the anomalies (St/Saint, apostrophes etc) as we
go along this first time round.
