Well, it was here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route#Road_routes

road 	ca_transcanada 	Canadian Trans-Canada highways
road 	ca_on_primary 	Ontario primary highways

so now the docs are out of whack with reality.

The colon notation does not seem to be universally accepted. It's not
widely used in the UK or Germany, as far as I can see. The only road
networks I can see in the UK are either scenic routes, with no obvious
hierarchy, or E routes, which if the current national madness prevails,
will have to disappear in the next couple of years for other reasons …
