Proposal: Use description instead of name for route relations

I don’t know exactly what you mean by “easily selectable in JOSM”. In JOSM you can customize the appearance and order of relations in the relations window by changing the key “relation.nameOrder”. If a relation doesn’t use any of the tags mentioned there, it is only referenced by the ID in the window.
description as one of the default values that is used if there is no ref, name etc. given has been introduced last year.
