Creek Turnpike would be an example of a named route, it having OK 365 as a ref is a relatively recent update.  Or OK 51, the 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division Highway (or something like that).  It's also a named route.  But most route relations have descriptions that often match a reasonable expansion (though this can't be gauranteed, perhaps we need ref:stylized as a hint to consumers; example, ref:stylized=State Highway 51.

The creation of a ref:stylized=* tag is an interesting idea. I think that would fit the situation I see in some rural areas where there is no obvious name on state highways.
