The Test Way and Wayfarers Walk have already been tagged using relations.
Both start at the car park shown here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.35650&lon=-1.46964&zoom=16

The relation tags are:
type=route
network=uk_ldp
route=hiking
name=Test Way

However as already said the renderers currently make little use of
relations.  The longer footpath sections of the Test Way have also
been tagged with a non-relation "name=Test Way" so that the name
appears on the Slippy Map (this can easily be removed later).
