Well, I believe impetus for route relations was Sustrans networks. These tags went from the ways to relations years ago already, so call me skeptical that there's no multiplexes in the UK (especially since without any real effort inside 30 seconds, just randomly scrolling by hand to the UK, I see that the A24 and RCN CS7 are multiplexed). I honestly don't see why we should be treating tags related to route=road any different than we're already treating route=bicycle.
