I really don't mind whether it's route relations or ref tags.  The
problem is that NEITHER is finished.  To get to my house, I have to get
on State Route 1966, then 1267.  Neither of these are marked as such on
the map, and I'm certainly not going to do it by hand when I could write
a tool that will fix those AND all the rest of the U.S. at the same
time.
