With my cycle.travel hat on: I already show route refs (as shields). I would
like to show route names without duplicating the ref or showing extraneous
information. I don't really mind whether the tag is name= or official_name=
or route_name= or brian= or whatever. Parsing nested relations is no
problem, I already do that.

To be honest, I'm perfectly happy to sit down for a day, armed with a bunch
of regexes, and go through the current list of names to get alternatives
that I can hard-code into cycle.travel. But that doesn't help anyone else!
