fully agreed.
what is the best solution for another problem I have seen.
navigation systems should use the name/ref on the signs. the names are  
never (rarely?) used for interstate and us routes. but commonly used  
for county routes ( there the names is used and the ref is used rarely)

If a navigation system picks the ref it fails for the county highway  
if it picks the ref it fails on the interstates.
should we add a tag like name_signs on the relation?
