[Tagging] Proposal: Sunset ref=* on ways in favor of relations

[Dave Swarthout]

@Colin - I see it now in Wiktionary, but since it is not in the OSM Wiki
how would renderers show or use that information? I guess my point is that
the relation manager and tools are difficult to master and forcing their
use on the general mapping community would be a mistake. Even if
deprecating the ref tag was deemed okay by our little group, the general
user community will resist the change and rightly so IMO
