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.
