most of the times I see it
name=Frontage Road
ref=US 29
this will be rendered in similar way as on other maps. Name is on the street and US, I, is on a shield. Doesn't make sense to duplicate the ref on the name.
for the rest of the proposed changes in previos mails of the thread I'd say go ahead and do the changes.
