It is a syntax that I implemented some time ago. Previously, the apply  
action of relations would only refer to the relation members, not the  
relation itself. The default style generates administrative boundary  
names such as Suburb/City/Province/Country, sadly in arbitrary order.  
It would be nice to sort the relations in some way before applying the  
attributes. The same would be useful for bus route relations as well,  
e.g., have the route refs on bus stops in numeric order.

Best regards,
