The following page outlines observations made from product testing and observations which are of note to users of the product. Ordnance Survey is working towards fixing these errors for the next release.

Language qualifiers

The xml:lang attributes are not populated in the product. They are planned for population in a future product release where a feature has more than one name.

Name continuity

HydroNode categories

There are a number of errors with HydroNode features with the hydroNodeCategory value 'Source' and 'Outlet', where the flowDirection of the connected WatercourseLink is in the wrong direction or is unknown.
