[Tagging] Roles of route members (was: Merging tagging scheme on wiki pages of Hiking, ...)

[Warin]

The longest local route to me that I have worked on is over 5,000 km 
long. I am certain that would not fit on my GPS as a route using this 
method.

To reduce the gpx file it would be better to use the nodes where the 
route changes from one way to another or where the way ends/starts. This 
would leave the GPS to figure out that the internal map has a way 
between those points and can use it That should be less way points. But 
even then on my 5,000 km route it would be far too big for my old GPS as 
one route. That is ok .. I'd separate it into bits.
