For various erasons I don't expect the authorities that provide the data
to be very responsive.
The data is not that important, anyway. It's about placenames, and there
are many other sources for this well-known and quasi-static data.

When I have the time I'll write my own XSL transform to convert the
spatial information in the BBOX elements to gml:geometry elements. At
best, this would approximate the locations of the places with squares,
but that's better than nothing. Nice little exercise to refresh and
expand my xslt skills.
