See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Collected_Ways AFAIK this isn't rendered at present, so for the time being the names would have to appear on the ways themselves as well if you want to see them, but in principle, a renderer could take note of this, and if it becomes a widespread idiom, no doubt they will.
