+1 for official_ref.

This gets across immediately that we are dealing with an ID which is 
used in a official documentation and also hints that the average road 
user should not expect to see any sign of it on the ground. I changed a 
number of these "ref" tags to "official_ref" in Chester making the 
mapnik map much more readable (IMHO).
