I'm guessing that, a bit like rights of way, the tagging will sort
itself out. Actually working out the bounds of the reserve itself is
the hard bit.
Only today I walked past one "welcome to Lathkill Dale NNR" sign, then
at some point exited (no sign) and then entered again past a different
"welcome to Lathkill Dale NNR" sign. It's a familiar problem - I went
path several signs on the south wales coast earlier this month whether
one side of a reserve was clearly marked but the other wasn't. You
could I suppose align to walls, fences and hedges (and in extremis the
sea), but in many cases there are several plausible possibilities for
boundaries. Sometimes there's a "sign at each corner" like at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/53745064 , but it's rare.

Is that actually genuine, OS IP free, proper OGL licensed "Open" data?
At the start of the month earlier in this thread Jerry commented:

I had assumed that Natural England datasets such as these (also access
land, see
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2015-August/thread.html#17638
) were at the very least not "whiter than white" for the reasons
discussed in that thread. Fine for a uMap to survey and monitor
progress by, but not for OSM itself.
... and of course there's the issue of "a significant amount of data
inaccuracy" in the available datasets that you mention, which is another
issue entirely.
Cheers,
Andy
