The wiki pretty consistently recommends "ncn" for national cycle 
networks, "rcn" for regional networks, and "lcn" for local cycle 
networks [1], even as a value for the "network" key [2]. I know they 
originated as UK-specific tags (such as "lcn" for the London Cycle 
Network), but they've been generalized for several months now at least. 
However, if the documentation/consensus again changes, I'm willing to 
retag all the routes I mapped in Ohio.

Personally, I find the light blue regional routes pretty illegible 
against the green topo map, while the navy local routes are oddly very 
prominent, though that's an issue with the cycle map, not the terminology.
