Hi Clinton,

  
Sure, what's the point in having multiple labels the same (apart from
the shield code)?
      
I suppose "because Felix said so" isn't a good argument is it? ;-)
    
I think that I have twigged what the issue is - I think what Felix is
possibly looking at this situation:

name = <shield>carp
ref = shark
display_name = carp

But with my patch the labels output are:

<shield>carp
shark

And so "shark" will be used in the routing instructions when he wants
"carp".
I have
name=somestreet
ref_from_relation=EV6

I want to have inside map:
name=EV6 somestreet

and in routing instructions too: EV6 somestreet. Without using display_name in routing instructions I will only see EV6 instead of EV6 somestreet.

Actually I would even prefer to have name for tooltip: EV6 Somestreet
Name for Routing instructions: EV6 Somestreet BlaBlub (BlaBlub added later in style-file)
Name printed in map: EV6
(meaning only one tooltip not two or three for the same road, currently every label gets its own tooltip).

It gets a bit more difficult for me, as I add refs from route relations. It would be nice in future to be able to search for all of the following in address index:
name
ref
ref_from_relation
ref name
ref_from_relation name
name Blablub (Blablub is added during processing the style-file to name)
OK - if that's what the issue is, I am going to change the code to only
trash the ref if it's the only ref (and the same as the name sans
shields) but if there is multiple refs then none of them will get
trashed.

I will post a v6 patch tonight

Mark
