Well then we should have some other difference key that will allow 
differentiation between shorter and longer routes (so renderers can put 
long routes into lower resolutions, than the 50km 2000m altitude+ plus 
routes).
Maybe let's have routes with less than 3000m vertical ascent (typical 1 
day routes), up to 10,000m and over 10,000m vertical ascent. Or maybe 
better we should have keys for length of a route (gps tracks often cut 
corners, pieces of the relation may be missing) and a key for total 
vertical ascent/descent). This way I can render long distance mtb routes 
/ multiple days routes more prominent than one day routes.
Furthermore we really need to have a seperation between routes with the 
same town as start/end place and routes which are not intended for 
sleeping/staying at the same place.
