This was the original question - but finally the goal is to get the
thing mapped at all ...

I started mapping "Via Romea" (not with appendix Francigena!) in my area:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=908428
If you seek for the string Via Romea in the relation analyser
http://ra.osmsurround.org/search.jsp?value=via+romea
you get some other route references and those are refering to the
Francigena route. As far as I know they are different - at least the
German part. I can try to find out more about this - finally its just
another touristic effort.

There are WikiPedia entries about Via Romea Francigena
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Francigena
and describe it as way from Canterbury to Roma. There are several
routes through Germany which connect to this route. The Via Romea
I mean is quite new, de facto not present in Internet but you can
see a raw map here:

The red line is what we are watching for.

So finally it is worth mapping both routes and you are free to
tackle both. :-)
Kind regards
Andreas.
