It's the same concept.  The idea is to document the practice on the OSM Wiki
and not just on a third-party website (no matter how good).

Indeed this type of information can be indicated in "description".  However,
the relation of the hierarchies consists in linking the different relations
of the same route in a single relation.  The end user only sees this single
parent relation, the "superroute".  So, to indicate this type of information
in the relations child in the field "name" represents a real problem?

In general, contributing to relations on openstreetmap (cycle, bus,
boundaries) requires a minimum of knowledge.  This is not like indicating
the location of a bench.
ID is not suitable for this type of contribution (relations), he knows how
to do it, but in a superficial and irrelevant way.
It's not up to OSM to adapt to ID, but the opposite. Since it is not up to
OSM to adapt to opencyclemap but the opposite (ref = icn). 
Potlach 2 in 2019 is a joke!  It is an outdated publisher requiring
dangerous technology (Adobe).

There is a distinction between being "expert" and being "voluntary". Using
JOSM is not just for "experts" but for people who want to go beyond
representing benches! I caricature.

Regards.
