Even if it's generally a non-visible ref in the outside world (though I've seen three C-roads leak onto signs in my travels) I believe that it's the render's choice as to whether they should show up on the maps, not for us to say that there's something "special" about the fact. A fact's a fact.

Should this be reflected in the tagging? I see in the States > they use network=US:[state]:[county] to tag county roads. I'm not sure whether they're nationally unique references, but they'll be unique per authority and we've got pretty good bounding areas for those in OSM now.
