I would argue that this isn't the sort of data that should be in the OSM
database. It would be a cool project for someone to set up a mashup
using OSM data and their own DB of the routes, maybe even using OSM data
and tools for it, but I'm not convinced that it should be in our
database (that isn't really designed for this sort of thing) bloating
our dumps.
