I don't think it's a good idea to automatically remove symbol=. Even 
though in the U.S. we've been using it mostly for URLs to Wikimedia 
Commons images, the wiki [1] suggests that symbol= is used elsewhere 
(and for non-motor routes) to provide human-readable descriptions of 
symbols, while osmc:symbol= is for parseable values and wiki:symbol= is 
for Commons file names.
