AFAIK, it has never been discussed at least on this forum. I consider it as an error or even vandalism since it does not conform to acceptable rules (1)
A similar behavior has been seen a couple of months ago where user:OntarioEditor added a prefix to ref tag for most primary/secondary roads in Quebec. I contacted him but never had an answer. The question was asked on this list by another user about such behavior. Unfortunately, I did not see any specific answer and his/her edits are still all over the place. Someone has more information? Comments?

Are you starting to do that now, or is this user in error with the current tagging practices? -James
