<div dir="ltr">So in the case of a route that passes through The Netherlands, Belgium and France, the part in The Netherlands and Flanders will have the same name (in Dutch)? And the parts in Wallonia and France will have the same name as well, but in French instead?

All kinds of information is packed in those names. I am not doing any cleaning (yet) until all this information can be stored in proper tags and is handled or scheduled by significant renderers/data users/tools. There must be reasons for this (ab)use, because it is done all over the globe. <div><div><div><br></div><div>It's very common to store <from>-<to> and sometimes <via> in the name tag. That's an easy one: we have from=*, via=*, to=*. </div><div><br></div><div>Sometimes a complete description, a comment or a note (.e.g. about a temporary detour) is added to the name. Easy: we have description=, note=*, comment=*. <br><div><br></div><div>A ref in the name: store in ref=*.</div><div><br></div><div>Another item is <b>section number</b>. This is often used when the route is split in sections, often according to the sectioning given by the operator/website. So firstly it's a sort of reference, secondly its an ordering and sorting mechanism. </div><div>Sometimes sections have their own name. I see that a lot in international (super)routes. </div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas how to do this without (ab)using the name tag? Is there a proper tag that springs to mind, or should we invent one?</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr">Peter Elderson</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
