About references:

We seem to have three competing ways of writing those references: CR102 CR 102 and C.R. 102.

I'm proposing standardising on the CR102 format, no spaces, no full stops. It is compatible with the Ponts et Chaussées and Wikipedia, and the other syntaxes add no information.

Here is an inventory of all the ref values we have in Luxembourg: http://pastie.textmate.org/4025170

References I will standardise if everyone is ok are A, B on this side of the German border, CFL, CR, E, N, PC and VDL. We can then compare "our" list with http://www.pch.public.lu/reseau_routier/reseau_routier.pdf.

In my inventory, there are also references like "Cul de Sac", "Roman Road" or "Condition bad". Anyone should feel free to clean those up.

What do you think?
