How great would it be to add details of a way or feature while you are stood

In Bristol users have been tagging links to NCN 4 (signposted on the
ground with the number in brackets) with the ncnref tag.
This just adds confusion when displayed on the maps. We need a way to
distinguish links from the actual routes.

Merging this data I see that some ways that just lead to an NCN route (but
are not actually part of the continuous route) are still marked with the

What's the feeling on this? I'm a bit torn:

As an example of somewhere this hasn't happened look at the current mapping
around St Peter's Basin in Newcastle. It shows and extra spur of the NCN72
along Bottlehouse Street, but actually the NCN72 runs along a parallel road
to the north (Saint Lawrence Street).

I've just been looking through the CUBA data and I think we need to show
that a route is part of a relation (specifically NCNs - which are mostly
done by relation in the Bristol area) to avoid someone retagging all of
the ways as NCN when they are already part of an NCN relation.

There is still benefit in tagging these discrepancies (where OSM is correct
