Even if it's not named, the fact that it may be named or numbered in the
future and generally traverses multiple ways (or a way that may be split
with the addition of more detail later), I tend to go with relations for
routes rather than go with lcn/rcn/ncn=yes.  The tags on the way should
describe the way, not the route; the route relation is there for the route.
 (Have I mentioned it's time to kill ref=* on ways as describing the
overlying route yet, like Linus killed ext1 after ext3 became a thing?)
