IMHO the goal is to end up with a map that has a mixture of both LCN and RCN, for readability: the long, "arterial" bike paths should be RCN. Something a bit like this: http://osm.org/go/0GFsCH--?layers=C (except in that case, it's a mix of RCN and NCN mostly). > 4.

IMHO, it's perfectly valid to consult other maps (Bing, Google Maps, Melway, whatever) for street names, as long as you don't *systematically* copy names from one source. Individual facts are not subject to copyright (certainly not in Australia). There is nothing magical about a street sign that makes it valid to copy a name from a physical sign, but not from some other source. This is probably a minority view though.
