Hi,

In the Benelux we have many node networks.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cycle_Node_Network_Tagging
As for the route relations, the common practice is not to give this a 
name, but enter the from to nodes in the note tag.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1733485
In relation lists, as eg in a change set, you can only see the relation 
id numbers:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9275493
This is meaningless and very inconvenient.
In JOSM, this is resolved by displaying the note when a name tag is not 
present .
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=remote&lat=51.07628&lon=4.25041&zoom=15
This way the relation is direct indentifiable.

Could this also be done for the  openstreetmap.org pages as well?
eg way display
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/33084569

TIA
Gerard.
