Bravo! Killyfole and District Development Association wrote: > Surely we map for what is there on the ground, not how it renders? Right. C road numbers are not on the ground.

First, C road refs break the on-the-ground rule as per above. Second, "don't [mis]tag for the renderer" does not mean "make things gratuitously difficult for the renderer". I think there's precisely one international OSM renderer in the world that has different rendering rules for the UK compared to other countries, and it's the one I run, cycle.travel. (Mapquest Open used to in its previous incarnation.) If you think renderers are going to implement a whole host of country-specific rules because people in the UK are determined to misuse the user-facing 'ref' tag to hold non-user-facing refs, I have a bridge to sell you. This is long overdue. Thank you, Dave.
