[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - value 'basic_network' for keys 'network:type', 'lcn' and 'lwn'

[Brian M. Sperlongano]

I am confused by this proposal, but it is probably just my lack of
understanding of the concept or something lost in translation.  It seems
that the proposal is focused on how to tag a route network that does not
have a name.  In that case, I would tag a route relation with the tags:

type=route
noname=yes

The noname tag has over half a million usages and is specifically for this
purpose of indicating that something has been surveyed and is not named.
