As someone who's mapped lots of both the National Byway and the NCN - 
disagree very very strongly.

The National Byway is not a national cycle network, nor part of the 
National Cycle Network, which is laid out to more exacting criteria. It 
is a long-distance leisure route. If anything it is more akin to the 
sort of route that is often tagged as 'rcn' in OSM (the old county 
cycleways, that sort of thing).

On the particular question of OCM rendering, AIUI Andy isn't opposed to 
rendering the National Byway (brown?) from the current tagging, but just 
hasn't had the chance yet. But he can answer better than I can.

I think at this point it is customary to use the phrase "tagging for the 
renderer". :)
