I've been doing some clean up in the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EN:Switzerland/CycleNetwork) on Swiss bicycle routes (and some on the routes themselves).
I don't like how the name tag is used here. IMHO it does not make sense to repeat the ref here. It should be what is written on the signs along the route. That might mean the name tag needs to change languages along the way.
The way it is specified now one might get "ncn 8" or "Aare Route" printed on the map depending on the locale. I don't think this is optimal. The ref tag is usually rendered anyway. So there is no point in rendering it also as name. Also, I believe the terms "ncn" and "rcn" are actually not used in Switzerland. Therefore, it might be confusing to have them shown on a map.
Just my 2 Rp.
