Why not?  I have successfully built a bus route map with some relations
and lines rules.  Is there something special about routability?  I thought
that the NET section is created after style file processing.

You could set this attribute in the relations file too.

Sorry, I have no idea about that.  The Edge 705 often cheats in bicycle
navigation by jumping to car road after a few km, but I haven't seen it
switch to direct-line routing yet.  But you have a much higher way density
I guess.
