Something like network=ca_on_primary;extra=qew This would mean that any parser could figure out the network; and those that are trying to figure out shields can parse the "extra" bit and render a fancy one for QEW, HOH or the ETR. Now, I'm not a tag guru, and maybe "network" really means "this is what shield to use", but then it really should be something like shield_type. If network is supposed to classify the roadway, then all like roadways should look the same "network=XXX", not XXX, XXX_special_case_one and XXX_special_case_two. Just my 0.02CDN. Gerald.
