Nice work John, looks great.

A few questions:
1. I presume the addr:country=Australia is manditory for this to work, but
:state optional? I could imagine only needing state for state specific
sheilds (ie. nationally consistent ones wouldn't need state).
2. If a Route has the same ref/name for it's length, there doesn't seem to
be any problem with having just one relation, combining the tags. I think
this would make simple cases simple to map (always a good thing).
3. I think you suggested if there is no underlying street name for a section
of highway, copy/move the name from the relation to the way, is that right?
I'd prefer the other way, where the name is stored in the relation so a lot
of the ways would have no name (the validators/no-names maps would need to
be updated to grab data from relations if they don't already do. I think
this would be a nice clean solution, and matches the suggestion ages ago to
put a street name in a relation when it is broken up by many residential
roundabouts...
