There is still problem with the "connection" routes. That are routes whose start and endpoint belong to different networks. Right now they are placed in both network relations and given the role 'connection' in the network relation.
Duplicating them in order to give them 2 different network names, is bad. Whenever the route has to change, one has to change it twice, or one gets inconsistencies. There is also something as "every object is represented only once in OSM". Putting the network name solely on the nodes might solve this. Until now, a node only belongs to one walking network. However it could belong to a cycling and walking network, hence, my previous proposal to include the network type in the network:name tag. So all problems for retagging could be solved, one could write a program to do this. I leave it to others to decide how urgent this retagging is. regards m p.s. as someone asked about the number of objects, here are some numbers: Detail TotalThe Netherlands BelgiumExplanation HikingBicycle HikingBicycle Length (km)59.871 6.17633.810 4.03315.850 Total length in kilometers.
