Don't worry, i don't plan to retag such route names you listed! :) The
routes i have in mind are public transport routes and *unnamed* hiking
routes that currently are tagged name="[<route ref>: ]<departure> -
<destination>" -- not just by myself. Note that the wiki [1] and the
approved PTv2 scheme [2] recommend using the name tag in this way.

If the community (or rather its majority) agree that the name tag
shouldn't used that way and as soon as the editors display the route's
description in the relations list [3], i'll fix my mistakes.
