Thanks for a good airing of the subject. Helped by the responses here I have decided to go full BS EN 471 class3/2, which includes retroreflective as well as hi-viz specs incidentally, and get flashing eye burning lights to supplement to regular steady-on Cat-eyes. I already ride quite assertively ("ride high" was what it used to be called) and am aware and defensive.
Ok, I will look like a commuting road sweeper rather than an urban ninja, which is a bit of a shame but hell, road sweeping is a respectable occupation.
