Hi Jason, I hadn't seen that page for a while, thank you for reminding me. I don't really trust that page to be reliable, because it does not contain any concrete references to applications / services actually adhering to these conventions.
With that said I agree fully that having a resource that *is* trustworthy (containing references to which router supports certain conventions) is becoming increasingly important - especially now that we're getting close to getting routing / directions support on osm.org. I will make it a priority to see about sharing the conventions we support, and working with other major nav / directions providers to discuss optimal support for less well defined tags like signposting (see the other thread I started a few days ago).
