As I said on IRC, I think this looks great from a quick look, Paul. Surrey is to be commended for their forward-thinking selection of PDDL for their data. it allows their data to be used with OSM, which appeals to the selfish OSM advocate inside me, but also means that the Surrey data can be included in essentially ANY data project. That can only be good for the citizens of Surrey. Beyond that, the address data appears to line up nicely with the Bing imagery. That is reassuring in two ways. ;-) I wonder if we have any mappers on the ground in Surrey? I'll see if I can interest anybody I know in the area.
