[Talk-us] Tiger Fixup - name_1, name_2, etc

I'm trying to get everything straight about signing, routing in Tiger fixup 
that is not clearly spelled out on the wiki.

  ref - used to generate route shield (or substitute)
  name - renders on the map on the roadway, along with the route shield
  routing relation - creates reliable routing for networks that span 
multiple ways or share roadways

 Often Tiger data contains an additional name_1, name_2, name_3, etc. 
These often occur in different order on different adjoining ways.   How to 
handle those names?  Should they be converted to alt_name , int_name, 
nat_name, loc_name, old_name , etc, with the name= being assigned to 
whatever is on the most prominent road signs?
