If the section number is an official identifier, then it's a ref (or possibly an unsigned_ref). There should be no collision because nothing keeps a superroute from having a ref of its own. If you're identifying a section number in order to sort the members of a superroute, Don't Do That. Keep the superroute in order. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/919642 remains a worked example; the sections are listed from south to north. Route relations are ordered; they're not just buckets of members. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
