Thanks for that - it predates my joining this list. It seems to (partially) answer only my first question - it's to benefit those who don't like their rendering (on paper/screen or on a navigation device). That's why we have rendering rules - if you don't like the rendering, change the rules. Using the wrong tag for the data (especially a totally undocumented tag) to get a rendering you like is really not helpful.
How would you suggest that data is tagged so that a renderer or a router knows the true local situation, e.g. "This reference tag, B1363, appears on signs is nationally unique and is something that drivers can use as a reference, but this other reference tag, C91, doesn't appear on signs, is unique only to the local authority that issued it, and can't be used for navigation"? It's not as simple as saying "all B road refs and signed and all C road refs are unsigned" - there are quite a few exceptions.
