I don't think they meant 'replace an address with addr:uprn', just enhance it.

I was not being as clear as I should have been. A UPRN parcel of land or object includes those for which an address is not appropriate and which 'Royal Mail' would never deliver to so I don't think it is appropriate to merge with the addr: set. I've already indicated that we need to wait and see just what quality of data will be provided, but I ecpevt that some council areas will not actually have postcode in the data. Certainly 15 years ago when I started receiving datasets this was a secondary piece of data yet at that time we were looking to manage the postcode tables for the councils that were providing the UPRN feed! They were not prepared to pay Royal Mail for data that they were legally required to create themselves ...
