i can certainly move to that although the more i think about the idea of separate networks, the more i like it. there are three
such networks in NYS, i think:

US:NY                         (the "touring routes", all signed)
US:NY:Reference (the "references", all unsigned except for 4, plus the parkways) US:NY:Parkway (the parkways, mostly from the Robert Moses era, generally have reference route designations
                                   but are signed with the parkway name)

i don't know if this makes the shield stuff harder or easier. i know that we can find enough hands in NYS to go through and bring them into conformance with whatever makes sense pretty quickly.)
That brings up another issue: in many parts of Ohio, county route numbers are included on sign blades [5] or ordinary directional signs [6] but don't have dedicated shields. I'm using ref for these numbers, because it is possible to navigate by them. But the shield renderer gives refs on highway=secondary or =tertiary the usual capsule badges, since no shield template has been specified. Any chance refs with unknown networks could be drawn like they are on highway=unclassified -- as bold, unadorned text -- regardless of the highway tag?
we have case 5 in some counties of NYS, not sure if we have case 6 anywhere. i was figuring
on coming up with a blade like shield template for case 5.
