It seems to me that, in the UK, class C roads should be exactly the
set of roads with highway=tertiary, so there is no need for a new
tag. Even if that is not true, the correct solution would be to test
the reference in the renderer and suppress it if within the UK.
That really is not a pratical solution, OSM is an Internaional project
and the standatrd renderer is International. It is unreasonable to
expect the hard working rendering team to support country specific
rendering.
As I said previously, if you want to see C road references rendered,
make your own renderer.
Not many countries seem to have 'highway=tertiary' but those that do
expect them to be rendered, and any reference they use should be
rendered with them? This is not simply a 'UK' question, but one on how
generic 'ref' tags are handled, and as I said ... 'highway=secondary'
references can suffer from the same problem of not actually being
displayed on the ground. So how the renderers handle this element is a
world wide problem, and perhaps 'display_ref=no' would be appropriate in
some areas of the world?
