Honestly, please don't. state=proposed has been around since the very first days of route relations and everything supports it.

proposed:route=bicycle is wordier and has no advantage other than some people appear to think tags with a colon in are automatically superior, because XML has namespaces and therefore we must too.

Changing the tags will achieve nothing; will mean that data consumers have to support two schemes instead of one; and will needlessly break stuff.

On the positive side, great to see all these USBRs going into OSM as ever!
