On a rainy afternoon I took a look at your overlay and I think it is potentially very useful. The main issue I guess is this new tag. I think "not:*" is imaginative, but it rankles with me somehow. How about just putting source:name=survey on roads that contradict OS Locator to show they have been checked on the ground. I will certainly use your work to check any street that shows up on 'my patch'.
