Very possible and would need some thought. On the whole when you are
presenting a map then it's difficult to show both routes on the same
rendering unless they are offset from each other, in which case you might
describe a whole new way.

I'd put that in the "note" tag if its just general info or I'd think of a
logical tagging method so that I could show such info on the map. If the
latter is a problem at the moment then having something as a note at least
gets the info in the database to be used properly at a later time.

Agreed
