I can add some details as I am currently mapping my trip in November  
(!) to Melbourne and back (down via Mount Beauty, back via  
Shepparton), adding some relations as I go. In the table some  
relations have been added as 'Yes', I was thinking it might be more  
useful to have the relation number (e.g. 373955 for B410). What does  
everyone think?

Incidentally, I've noticed that the route numbers and route names  
aren't showing in Mapnik for relations. As an experiment, I added a  
stub for C528 (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/374047 )  
using someone else's trace and my voice recording of the route number.  
I placed highway=secondary into the relation rather than the way, and  
the route number shows. Should we be doing this for all relations?  
There wasn't a road name sign, so I don't know yet whether this will  
help make names show up.
