[talk-au] Adopting "AU" Prefix on Network tags

[Andrew Hughes]

Hi Dian,

Working with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and having data that
honours the jurisdiction geography (I.e. state/territory border) is
invaluable to us.

I believe... Ways and State Route (relations) should split at the border.
State routes typically form as members of the national route... therefore I
would say ..
1. Ways are split or borders
2. Ways are members of state route relations  network=AU:QLD
3. State relations are members of a national relation (if they make up the
national network) network=AU

I believe there is far less entropy in this convention as well.

Thoughts?

Cheers.
Andrew
