Comment:
It's not as insane as it may seem. Those notes are there to help the
(human) editors of the cycle node routes. The connections between the
nodes in these networks simply don't have a name. The nodes are identified
by a number. The connections between them are referred to as xx-yy, but
they are not ref(erence)s either.
This has been decided many years ago and has been done consistently in at
least 3 countries. The fact is that it is extremely inconvenient to edit
these relations with Potlatch. Another fact is that it is not very easy to
wean people working on those routes off of Potlatch, so it would be nice
if Potlatch could help out its users by doing what JOSM has been doing for
years now: show the note tag when no name tag is present.
A fallback from name TO ref TO note
in that order is all that is needed. I don't expect there to be demand for
more than that.
It would be a great service to the users of Potlatch(2) and it's less
INSANE than it may seem.
Just my 2 cents.
