Suppose XXn for recreational networks should go. What do I do with all the route relations neatly tagged as lwn, lcn, lhn, lpn, ..,and the r..n, n.n and i.n ?
Removing the tags without a working alternative will clear a lot of charts and maps which present the routes to users for navigation, information and export. There are many more of those routes than of the road routes. I think such a proposal should be driven by something more than perceived inconsistency*. Is there an actual pressing problem with the current tagging? * I do not share this view. The network is a text field and can have any value indicating the network in a workable way. For roads, as I understand it, an hierarchical/federative abbreviation system has been worked out, but that is not valid for recreational routes. So these use a different notation system, where for instance the country doesn't get named because that is redundant. Also the particular numbering system doesn't go in the network, but per network and operator in the ref (if present) or per area in the colour tag. Numbers and colors are freely reused even within one operator's network, so you can't catch this in a fixed hierarchy. Feel free to try though.
