 Could we get an example?  This may vary depending on context, as, for
example, there's several spots I can think of offhand that would belong to
a relation with network=US:US:Historic and ref=66, with old_ref=US 66 on
the way (where it's signed as a national historic route) or ref=I
44;OK 66, old_ref=US
66 (which isn't signed as a historic route) in my area...
