As you refer to http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/converted.kml
    DY|AV3|3/1
I guess you have grabbed:
    http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/converted.kml
or:
    http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/augmented.kml
In order to be consistent across councils, those files have mutations
of the original data.

The file:
    http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/original.kml
is a non-tampered-with version of Derbyshire's data.

For DY|AV3|3/1, it has:
    <SimpleData name="RouteCode">AV3/3/1</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="ParentRouteCode">AV3/3</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="ParishCode">AV3</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="PROW_Number">3</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="LinkNo">1</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="PROW_District">Amber Valley</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="Parish">Ashleyhay</SimpleData>
    <SimpleData name="PROW_Status">Footpath</SimpleData>

I agree with your decision to remove the "DY".

I think you've also decided not to include the Parish.  But if you change 
your mind, then do what Rob Nickerson said in his e-mail:
    add the reference in the same format as used by the Local Authority

I think this means choose either:
    AV3/3
or:
    Ashleyhay FP 3
as I think that will be what's on Derbyshire's online map.

So there are no occurrences of the | character!
