[Tagging] Ref tag

[Philip Barnes]

"There is no ferry between Kingston upon Hull and Esbjerg. An alternative ferry is available from Harwich (350 km/220 mi from Kingston upon Hull) to Esbjerg".
A well thought out route?

Strictly speaking the international E-numbers are routes, not roads. The 
European Route Network is overlaid on top of the national networks and 
doesn't bother about international boundaries. In Belgium however it is 
very common to use the E-route numbers on signs instead of any local 
A-number where a motorway is part of the ERN. In this case I would say 
that int_ref and ref should have the same value - ref should be used for 
what's on the signs. If the motorway has an underlying A-number (purely 
for administrative purposes) then this might fit in nat_ref.


In the UK, the E-numbers are not signed at all, but there are ERN routes 
there. For example the E20:

to Russia.
