It seems that many people see the network tag as not representing a
network but a shield design. Does this sound accurate?

No, because, where shield designs differ by agency for the same logical
network classification, the network tag does not change, despite the
differing shields.

One of many examples: Maryland uses a unique green-on-white shield for
US Business routes, but those roads still get tagged as
"network=US:US:Business", not "network=US:US:Business:MD" or somesuch.
The renderer would have to detect which agency the road is "in", and
render the agency-specific shield accordingly.

So your belief is that there is such a thing as a "U.S. Highway Business" network, despite AASHTO considering business routes to be part of the main U.S. Highway network?
