our current pedestrian routers often don't give street names, but instead only instructions like "look for the line on the map". To improve that I would like to encourage mappers to give separately mapped footways their proper name instead of leaving them without name.
The only correct way to put that into a clean DB model would be to create a relation that has the name on it *once* and has all pieces as members to which the name applies, including all pieces of street, sidewalk, etc. Now that is considered impractical by most people due to the editing strain (we know how likely people already mess up relations right now).
Also, note that what you propose needs actual change of the current renderers as they do not at this time ignore the multiple names but instead make maps look really ugly (well, most separately mapped sidewalks make the map look ugly in current renderers).
