[OSM-talk-be] Tagging proposal for cycling highways (Fietssnelwegen)

to be honest I find "network" strange in the context of a single
cycle_highway. All cycle_highways together form a network, but a
single one not.
We do not map the E 19 motorway as car_network:BE:motorway, but we do
have a relation for all parts of the E 19 in a route-relation (I
think, OSM website was soo slow yesterday when I tried to access the
page on E-motorways).

Is this cycle_network value OK with the inventors of that tag ? Wasn't
it invented recently to distinguish cycle networks from local cycle
routes ?

In conclusion: I would prefer another way to tag cycle highways
