First example: Superrelation GR5 (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4580796) consists of the following 8 relation members:
GR 5 Netherlands (9176775) GR 5 Belgium, Flanders (3121667) GR 5 Belgium, Wallonia (3121668) GR 5 Luxembourg (2790499) GR 5 Lorraine (2029679) GR 5 Vosges (1956165) GR 5 Jura (6095322) GR 5 Alpes Côte d'Azur (2704286) Similar how Kevin Kenny organised the Long Path (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/919642), they are split up by geographic region. In the case of the Long Path, it's by county. Peter, would you find this acceptable? Do you want to try reach some consensus on the splitting? Do you want to go even further and try to align the punctuation? (we use comma, dash, brackets etc...). I think it should be at least possible to find a consensus between Belgium and The Netherlands on that. Second example: Superrelation Monte Rosa Tour (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10353523) is split up in stages. As far as I can tell, this relation is split up in daily stages, each time starting and ending at a mountain hut. Monte Rosa tour stage 1 (958608) Monte Rosa tour stage 2 (9214075) Monte Rosa tour stage 3 (9234148) Monte Rosa tour stage 4 (9234975) Monte Rosa tour stage 5 (9235092) Monte Rosa tour stage 6 (9237283) Monte Rosa tour stage 7 (9242908) Monte Rosa tour stage 8 (9243123) Monte Rosa tour stage 9 (9243530) Monte Rosa tour stage 10 (9231294) Is it possible that this information is actually copyright protected, if it's copied from a guidebook? Nevertheless, it's useful information. Peter, would you want to move this "stage x" information in a separate tag?
