You could also add a link to an SVG icon for the shield rendering into

I'd support this, too... for generic shields that look like "put numbers
inside an outline of the state" we could do this, and then handle the
exceptions as such, but I'd be quite happy right now just to have
ordinary symbol= tags rendered.
There was (is) some work done (I think by JohnSmith) to get this sort of
thing done. Wikipedia has some blank SVGs with placeholder digits which
can be substituted; it’s not hard at all with the appropriate fonts to
make that bit work, or to modify an existing numbered SVG. Only problem
is that you generally need a different sign for 3-digit vs. 2-digit
signs (and sometimes 1-digit signs as well).
However, there are many stretches of road that are designated "Col. John
Q Public Memorial Highway" or something like that. It only applies to
part of the route (the whole route through a state, or maybe just a
bridge or an intersection). In that case, it belongs on the ways, not
the route.
Yup, or on another route relation.
What, so make the route relation contain sub-relations for each distinct
stretch of road, recursively, until it gets down to single ways that
can't be combined (e.g. due to different bridge/tunnel tags, speed
limits, etc)?
It could be done that way, but I was thinking of a more single-level
approach:
<route>
<network="US:I"/>
<ref="XX"/>
<members>
<way1/>
<way2/>
<way3/>
<way4/>
<way5/>
<way6/>

</route>
<route>
