Can you point us to some further reading about this "admin_ref" tag?
The wiki isn't telling me about it. If there is indeed a consensus
then it'd be nice for it to be documented!

If they are not signed, then they do not belong in the ref tag. 

The consensus is that such information belongs in an admin_ref tag, a sat nav 
instruction to 'turn left into the U666' is very unhelpful.

On that note, I see that nearby Millom has an awful lot of U roads
marked on the map
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/323083782#map=16/54.2101/-3.2701 I'm
surprised that they have them all signposted since we agreed that we
should record U names since they're just for internal council
bookkeeping?

Presumably this terrace in the Lake District which has no 'name=';

  http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/314851241

and which is on a street that also has no 'name=':
