I'd actually tag this as the name=* of the route_master relation.
Open to hearing better suggestions though.

Oh boy, we're going to start that flame war again... but yes, ':' is correct.

Yes, it's two different tagging schemes.  "station=subway" belongs to
the legacy station mapping scheme, while "subway=yes" belongs to the
more detailed (and more complex) public transport schema, and is (or
should be!) found together with a public_transport=stop_position tag.
Note that both tagging schemes can coexist, so having both tagged is
acceptable.  I recommend though that, for consistency reasons, you
pick one (the newer public transport schema is, in my opinion, the
better option) and stick with it.

I recommend that you read through the public transport schema
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Public_Transport)
if you haven't already -- I think it will answer a lot of your
questions.
