Sure! I actually tested that yesterday
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54025002).
I have to correct my tagging and also remove the zeroes.

>From the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref), the ref
tag is used in various ways by adding namespace.  Should we used
ref:doh=504 like the isil ref
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref:isil)?
