Suggest someone talks to the owner of http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/site/about (Who I dont know)
Looks like this person has the expertise and the interest to do something and we may find we have a wiki activist. Awarding a temporary contract to someone who knows that can be done would be a good solution.

I remember the discussion (though I didn't remember the mention of the EH list).
I suppose we could try asking them nicely to give us the list in a more useful format, but even if we could import just the name of the
building, it
would be a start.
I had a chat with Richard (N) about this today and we concluded it was probably worth asking again to see what was available and/or if they'd be interested in being involved in some way - WLM was an astounding success last year and getting involved for the UK might catch their attention ;-)
Incidentally, has anyone run across this site?

They seem to be using the same EH/etc data sources, but have assembled it into something usable. The same guy has produced
http://www.ancientmonuments.info/site/about/
as well.
