These are deep semantic philosophy questions :) I'd point out that renderers can naively render "name" tags and produce something that is useful to the human consumer, but that's harder to do with PT zone tags. How important the zones are to the user varies a lot, so they'll probably only be used by a map product that is specific to that area anyway. I think.

Sorry, I don't really follow that. Routes are relations. But there doesn't have to be a relation per zone...I don't think. You could render something useful simply by using zone properties on each station and piece of track, for instance.
