Osm-carto used to display (pre-cartocss?) each and every relations route name.
It is hopefully no longer the case.

>> We have talked in the past about the name tag in route names. It often contains non-name elements. This appears to be driven by how people want to see the routes displayed in lists. 
>> From, To, Via, Ref, Purpose, Region, and Part numbers are popular elements. These elements are layed out to produce alphabetically ordered and 'pretty print' route list in applications and maintenance tools.
>> Understandable, but not conform the 'name=just the name' principle, which is important for clean data and for a.o. Nominatim.

>> To clean this up, From, To, Via, Ref can go in the well-known from=*, via=*, to=*, and ref=* tags. Region, Purpose (e.g. "German part of the GR5"), can be moved to description=*.
