[OpenStreetMap talk-lu] Reference format (Was: Meeting 2012)

[Loll]

Hi everyone.

Concerning the reference format of the streets I'm more for "CR 200" 
because it is not only more convenient to read and it gets the 
possibility to extract additional information from it. This additional 
information is not needed (because the information is already tagged 
with highway = secondary) but it permits to double-check it.
So my general proposal for the road references, as Frank already 
suggested, would be:
No "dots" and a space between characters and numbers.

This notation can also be used for many other objects. However one 
should have the same notation style for the same kind of objects (bus 
lines (VdL, TICE, ...) , bicycle (PC, ...) etc...

A+
