I would (as a more general concern here that listmembers are almost
certainly aware of) flag the issue that extant address schemes are
designed almost exclusively for -- wait for it... -- addresses: great
for listed buildings, but  things underground, in the middle of a field,
miss out.

This is the primary reason that we investigated, and dismissed, BS 7666
for the first incarnation of MIDAS XML.  The second one was the ability
to accommodate better addresses for international use.

There have been had difficulties  with Postcode data in this respect in the past - even though you would think it would be an advantage to display the postcode boundaries on a map.   That is why websites exist that enable a limited number of searches on postcode use per day before charging!

The UPRN gives each address - including object not dealt with by other systems - a unique number.  It would seem logical to tie into that type of initiative.
