I didn't comprehend any of the ===Recommended tagging=== section. Do you <br>
have an example?<br>

How does adding from & to ensure the route will be updated to maintain <br>
its accuracy?<br>

How does adding from & to protect the name tag from misuse?<br>
<br>
<br>
OSM is geospatially aware. From & To add no real value. In examples I've <br>
seen they're far to vague. to=London, for example. To be of any use my <br>
local NCN should be tagged to=just by the gate, around the back of the <br>
industrial unit. However as I stated, it's not required as that can been <br>
seen by looking at the route on the actual *map*.<br>
