With that argument you should also tag bus, cycle and walking routes with 
route=road.

I don't want to get into a discussion arguing why road numbers aren't a route, 
but I hope you can see that road numbers are a completely different concept 
compared to the concepts of touristic car routes, or bicycle routes, or bus 
routes, etc. So while I still think it shouldn't even be type=route, since 
it's in use now for road numbers, it should at least have a different route 
tag.
