[talk-au] Adopting AU prefix in route network

[Dian Ågesson]

Hello list,

Thank you all for the feedback.

I have now integrated the new route number scheme into the tagging 
guidelines page based on the positive feedback.

The old tagging scheme will continue to be documented to assist with the 
transition.

Regards,

Dian
