My understanding of the modifier tag is that the ref should be the content of
the main part of the shield, and the modifier goes above e.g. these shields:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_business_routes_of_the_Interstate_Highway_System
I'm not well versed enough in these to really get what the ref should contain,
but it seems logical to me that it would be short and sweet like an actual sign
on the side of a road.
I've posted a new version of everything at the URL's above, with corrected
county network names.
