Even local hiking routes can have variations in starting and stopping
places as well as route variations to accommodate things.
I take the view that the 'normal' route is what I map. The different
start/stopping options lie along the route and can be accessed by those
using the route. Just like a bus route or a train route.
The route variations I'm not certain of.
In any case .. I try to help the end users .. such as waymarkedtrails ..
most usefull to have the route correctly displayed there.

I've been searching the wiki's for a good description of how to tag
long hiking routes, particularly compound international routes with
separate sections per country, where the national section is also a
national path on its own which in turn consists of several (sometimes
many) sections.
Directionality is not a problem with hiking routes, but alternative
routes and different starting routes are very common and have to be
accommodated.
I can found some thoughts about it under "relations", but not a clear
and definite scheme how to do this. Is there a consensus and if so
where can I find the thematical documentation?
