Interesting. Anyone know when this happened? Last time I looked I seem
to recall generic square shields with any state abbreviations stripped
out. I also don't see any change to their stylesheet on github. I'm
mostly curious if they switched to route relations or if they are
still going off of the ref tag on ways.
