For libosmscout I planed to put (at leats a part of) such information in
some application configuration file, this possibly would also include
visualisation aspects like with symbols on the map to use for motorway
numbers etc... I also would have used boundaries for grouping such
information. I would very apreciate to have such information outside my
application in an easy to parse format. It could be part of the boundaries
in the database but a CCS like formatted file would also do.
