  That's what I was thinking. Here we have a
"name=highway 550", which is "ref=US 550", and another one is
"name='Camp Bird Road', ref='CR 361', and "ref:usfs='FS 838'".

  I interpret the responses that for a road, (not an address) it should
be "name=County Road 12" and "ref=CR 12". Most the addresses here use
"addr:street='CR 12', but locals call it "Country Road 12", which is
what the sign says. I'm just trying to get this right so I only have to
fix it once. :-)
