Quick question for clarification. The US Forest Roads overlay in JOSM shows the name of forest roads without "Road"; e.g. "Burton Creek B". Should the suffix "road" be added or is it redundant and a waste of bytes? (Sometimes there may be continuity from, say, a County Road with e.g. "Burton Creek Road", though.)
