The relation for I-5 should not be tagged with that name= any of those
then. What about having a relation for I-5 that goes through all of
those ways and another route relation, with name="Pacific Highway" (and
ref,network as blank), where they coincide?

Around here, we have a Skokie Highway which is part street, part
cosigned with I 94, and part its own highway, so this covers that case.
