My rendering doesn't use super relations (mostly[0]), because it
doesn't need to; the per-state relations contain all of the tags
needed for it to get the right shields.

Would it be worthwhile to declare a separate network for these
(US:I:Future seems natural) and give them their own relations?  If
there are signs on the ground, I could see about putting images in my
rendering for them.


[0] At lower zoom levels the rendering uses the osm2pgsql route
    relation geometries for overview rendering of two-digit Interstate
    shields, which might end up using super relations, if osm2pgsql
    generates geometries from them, but that's a fairly minor part of
    the rendering and only applies from zoom 7 to zoom 9.
