 County roads in California are of the form [A-Z][0-9][0-9]. I tag Orange
 County route S18 as:
 
 network=US:CA:Orange
 + ref=CR S18

I'd drop the CR prefix since that's more of a network identifier than a
reference number.

  Most Interstates, US Highways and most state highways include the 
network identifier.   Why should this be dropped for the county roads?

 ways vs. relations. we need the identifier on ways because of the
 data consumers
 that expect to render directly. for relations, we should in theory
 be only including
 the actual reference number.

Isn't that just tagging for the renderer?

it is, but we're way too far gone on that path to do something
that disruptive without a really well thought out mitigation
plan for making such a change.

Perhaps, but it's not tagging *incorrectly* for the renderer. The latter 
is the big no-no.
