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)
