Thanks for checking this. This also confirms what I found. I
discovered that the second label appears to be the one used in routing
directions and displayed on "mouse over" events.

I made a modification which allows you to set the second label using
the style file. This corrects the problem that only the ref is
displayed in routing directions, which is what I think you and Ralf
would like. It definitely makes the routing directions more friendly.

I'll send out a patch for this shortly.

Cheers.
