Totally agree. Flooding OSM with not: tags is both pointless and
counter-productive. Why not implement a search engine type feature like
google suggest that spell checks and autocorrects. If the differences
between OS Locater and OSM are only minor, i.e. apostrophes, spaces in
names, etc then these could probably just be ignored instead of having
millions of not:* tags for all the possible permutations that *could* be
entered incorrectly by an end user.
