Regarding council tax bands - I wonder if we should add it to OSM, as
opposed to storing elsewhere and then some kind of data added to OSM which
would point to the source.  After all, in theory council tax bands could
change during each regular valuation (although no Government has dared to
allow a complete re-valuation across the country).  Also, it's possible to
change your tax band in theory by making changes to your house.  It's not
something that I would expect mappers to check (or even know how to), so
wouldn't be updated.

Addresses and UPRNs, plus working out if properties are subdivided, on the
other hand sound like they could be useful.
