Fantastic news about Hamps PRoW data :-) Anyone else contacting their local
council can use this as an example case.

Q: Do we need to have a suggested way of tagging the reference numbers in
ref=* ? So far I have seen the following in use:

* Parish / path no. / link no.    ==> For example: 417/26/1  (where the
parish is a number code)
* Area RoW_type Path_no.    ==> For example: North Tawton Bridleway 18

Delimiters seen include ' ' , '/' and '-'.

A: Can I throw out the suggestion that we use:

* Parish-RoWType-PathNo<-LinkNo.> (where the bit in <> brackets is
optional). I assume that use of '-' is allowed.

Regards,
RobJN
