On the topic of reference numbers: slip roads have their own reference 
numbers, which I haven't seen many people map yet. There are signs for it 
(small red-white signs along the road, not on major signs), and their numbers 
are like "A001.035", which would be a slip road towards or from the A1. You 
could map these with admin_ref=*.

Apart from that, a highway=motorway_link should not have a ref=* tag. The exit 
number should be on the node with the highway=motorway_junction as its ref=* 
tag.
