As I've mentioned a couple times, we need to have at least two tags to store this kind of information rather than shoving everything into the ref=* or network=* tag. Essentially it boils down to one issue: I don't want to write a string parser to figure out what kind of shield to render on the route. To solve the problem I need a tag to specify if it's a interstate, US route, state road, or county road. I view this kind of tag along the same lines as the highway=* tag. I don't know what to call it, but values would be interstate, us_route, state_route, county_route, etc. The specific information about what county/state it's in, the human readable name, the prefix, etc. should all be stored in different tags (and not stuffed into one long network=* tag).
