Made loads of additions over the weekend adding many street names and other features. Corrected a few errors too.
It all seems a bit hit-and-miss about what gets updated on the live map and when.

I'm glad to see someone picking up the St Albans mantle! It would be good to fill in the landuse areas in The Camp area where I started, hint hint ;-)

I'm pretty much planning on working around the place. New Greens et al has the great advantage being outside my window tho'...
Any idea why Beech Bottom Dyke has stopped displaying on the live map?

The archaelogical site? It doesn't appear to be in the Mapnik stylesheet:
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/osm.xml
You could add a request to trac.openstreetmap.org with a suggestion of how it could look. I guess they might also be clamping down on names for areas that don't have a specific style rule, but mention the fact that the name has disappeared in the trac ticket.

Hmmm. I rather assumed that if it was in a preset and on a pick-list it would be valid...

Afraid not! All of the various tools are maintained by different people, and the map layers on the OSM front page are treated as sensible default views on a database that contains tonnes of other data. The mapnik stylesheet is maintained by Steve Chilton, who is a pretty experienced cartographer.

Hmmm. That just seems barking mad to me - hard to imagine a better recipe for confusion.
