Personally, if it's not signed, known, called or otherwise indicated
in any way to have that reference, whether in atlases, satnavs, online
maps, streetsigns or anywhere else, I'd rather we didn't use the "ref"
tag for it. If there's a special super-secret special reference only
used by highways authorities and nobody else, then it should go in a
(super-secret) special tag.

Otherwise we're back to the "this road has reference X, oh no it
doesn't" school of tagging, which we've agreed in the past isn't
helpful.

Cheers,
Andy
