That's not true. Most bike routers based on OSM are aware of route relations and use them to influence routing. > Software needs a sorted or easily sortable relation.

I have software right here that reorders unsorted relations, as well as skeletonising dual carriageways into single lines, jumping over roundabouts and coping with other such issues. I know of two other sites operating similar software and I'm sure there are more. There are certainly issues with consuming route relations but sorting is not, in my pretty extensive experience, one of them. Peter, perhaps you could clarify what your experience is in consuming OSM data? Have you written code to do so? Do you run a website that uses OSM?
