My strategy has been to deal with the long roads first and then go back and deal with the small ones. We are not planning to create a new map layer at present due to other priorities on our time (some of which will be of interest to OSM people!) > On the whole I prefer to leave it a bit still.

I don't image that many people are including verified=no manually - it is just too much trouble! Indeed, here is a map showing verified/surveyed+souce:name in dark red, source:name without verified/surveyed in orange and any instances of verified/surveyed without source:name as blue (there aren't any at present!) http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=117 You will see that Source:name is more frequently used in some districts such as Suffolk, Nottingham Kent that i others. Instances of source:name do not of course mean that it was from OS Locator or that it was not also surveyed. For that verified/surveyed is needed. The only instances of 'surveyed' or 'verified' + source:name are in Corby as far as I can see which was me testing the bot algorithm manually on a place which was at 23% completeness and which I go to 95% completeness. It took long enough for me to conclude that it was an inefficient way to do it. With the verified tagging in Corby someone can now go and check it if they so wish and ping off the verified=no tags as they do so. As I said, there are no other instances of verified/surveyed. surveyed=2010-10-08 would be neat, saying I checked all of the tagging on that date and made any corrections necessary! As such I think it is clear that without a bot we are indeed not going to be able to tell what has been manually surveyed and what has been grabbed from OS Locator. With a bot we would be able to.
