Hi Andrew, I don't have a strong preference, but in the same way as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata only include the page identifier (language/title) and the wikidata ID, and not the full URL, I would suggest do similar, like ref:nhvr=abc123.
In terms of including an external (eg NHVR) reference on each OSM object, I think that's okay so long as the OSM community can also lookup those references and ensure they are correct (for the right road/road segment), fix them, or add missing ones etc. If you were proposing a tag like ref:nhvr=abc123 where abc123 was private/internal to NHVR it becomes more problematic as mappers can't verify/fix them. If your data varies a lot along a road way, I'd consider if it makes more sense to skip the reference/link and just publish it in a way that references OSM, etc. using OSM NodeIDs, OpenLR strings (for example like what Mapbox do with their traffic https://docs.mapbox.com/data/traffic/guides/data/). I'd also see what we can do in terms of adding data directly to OSM. Road widths can be mapped https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:width#Width_of_streets, gradient could be mapped with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:incline. There's some discussion needed though if we want to mass map this kind of data into OSM.
